Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceDell Digital Delivery versions prior to 5.2.0.0 contain a Use After Free vulnerability where the application continues to use memory after it has been freed.
