Summary
CVE-2024-0217 is a use-after-free vulnerability affecting PackageKitd. Under certain conditions, the cleanup mechanics for a transaction can be disrupted, leading to memory access on previously freed regions. Once memory is freed, it can be reused for new allocations, resulting in the loss of previously stored data in that memory region. This issue poses a potential security risk if an attacker can manipulate the system to access sensitive information that was previously in the memory.
