This rule finds accesses through a pointer of a memory location that has already been freed (i.e. through a dangling pointer). Such memory blocks have already been released to the dynamic memory manager, and modifying them can lead to anything -from a segfault to memory corruption that would cause subsequent calls to the dynamic memory manger to behave +from a segfault to memory corruption that would cause subsequent calls to the dynamic memory manager to behave erratically, to a possible security vulnerability.
