I think it's supposed to be use after free, but it isn't clear because none of the others use that layout
For those who don't know: "use after free" is a programming term that means you tried to use something that was stored in a certain place in memory after that thing was already freed (removed from that space in the memory). As a result, you get unexpected behavior. This can be exploited to allow an attacker to get a program to run anything they want.
But it's extra unexpected that the use after was used after free right? that's why it's chaotic evil and not just evil.
Sorry to revive this, I was going through my history.
