Understanding the Weakness (CWE)

Confidentiality,Integrity,Availability,Other

Technical Impact: Varies by Context; Read Application Data

Uninitialized variables usually contain junk, which can not be trusted for consistency. Depending on the context, uninitialized variables could lead to denial of service conditions, or modify control flow in unexpected ways. They could also contain sensitive information that could be leaked if the variable is used in output. In some cases, an attacker can "pre-initialize" the variable using previous actions - i.e., control the contents of the variable - which might enable code execution.

Availability

Technical Impact: Alter Execution Logic; Unexpected State

This can cause a race condition if a lock variable check passes when it should not.

Authorization,Other

Technical Impact: Varies by Context

Strings that are not initialized are especially dangerous, since many functions expect a null at the end -- and only at the end -- of a string.
