Common Weakness Enumeration

CWE-362

Allowed-with-Review

Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization ('Race Condition')

Abstraction: Class · Status: Draft

API response cwe.mitre.org

The product contains a concurrent code sequence that requires temporary, exclusive access to a shared resource, but a timing window exists in which the shared resource can be modified by another code sequence operating concurrently.

Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

tcp: Fix data-races around sysctl_tcp_migrate_req.

While reading sysctl_tcp_migrate_req, it can be changed concurrently. Thus, we need to add READ_ONCE() to its readers.

GHSA-F5P9-J34Q-PWCC

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-02-17 21:27 – Updated: 2026-02-19 21:56
VLAI
Summary
emp3r0r Affected by Concurrent Map Access DoS (panic/crash)
Details

Summary

Multiple shared maps are accessed without consistent synchronization across goroutines. Under concurrent activity, Go runtime can trigger fatal error: concurrent map read and map write, causing C2 process crash (availability loss).

Vulnerable Component(with code examples)

Operator relay map had mixed access patterns (iteration and mutation without a single lock policy):

// vulnerable pattern (operator session map)
for sessionID, op := range OPERATORS { // iteration path
    ...
}

// concurrent mutation path elsewhere
OPERATORS[operatorSession] = &operator_t{...}
delete(OPERATORS, operatorSession)

Port-forwarding session map had read/write paths guarded inconsistently:

// vulnerable pattern (port forward map)
if sess, ok := PortFwds[id]; ok { // read path
    ...
}

PortFwds[id] = newSession // write path
delete(PortFwds, id)      // delete path

FTP stream map similarly mixed concurrent iteration with mutation:

// vulnerable pattern (FTP stream map)
for token, stream := range FTPStreams { // iteration path
    ...
}

FTPStreams[token] = stream // write path
delete(FTPStreams, token)  // delete path

Attack Vector

  1. Attacker (or stress traffic in authenticated flows) triggers high concurrency in normal control paths.
  2. Operator sessions connect/disconnect while message forwarding and file-transfer workflows are active.
  3. Concurrent read/write hits shared maps.
  4. Go runtime panics with concurrent map read/write error.
  5. C2 component exits, producing denial of service.

Proof of Concept

  1. Start C2 server with active operator session(s) in a lab environment.
  2. Generate rapid operator session churn (connect/disconnect loops).
  3. Simultaneously drive agent message tunnel traffic and/or file transfer activity.
  4. Observe crash signature in logs: fatal error: concurrent map read and map write.
  5. Optional: run with race detector in dev build to confirm race locations.

Impact

  • C2 service interruption due to process panic/crash.
  • Operational instability under load or deliberate churn.
  • Repeated crash-restart cycles can degrade command reliability and incident response workflows.

Details

PX4 Autopilot 1.14 and earlier, due to the lack of synchronization mechanism for loading geofence data, has a Race Condition vulnerability in the geofence.cpp and mission_feasibility_checker.cpp. This will result in the drone uploading overlapping geofences and mission routes.

Severity
4.2 (Medium)

Mitigation
Architecture and Design

In languages that support it, use synchronization primitives. Only wrap these around critical code to minimize the impact on performance.

Mitigation
Architecture and Design

Use thread-safe capabilities such as the data access abstraction in Spring.

Mitigation
Architecture and Design
  • Minimize the usage of shared resources in order to remove as much complexity as possible from the control flow and to reduce the likelihood of unexpected conditions occurring.
  • Additionally, this will minimize the amount of synchronization necessary and may even help to reduce the likelihood of a denial of service where an attacker may be able to repeatedly trigger a critical section (CWE-400).
Mitigation
Implementation

When using multithreading and operating on shared variables, only use thread-safe functions.

Mitigation
Implementation

Use atomic operations on shared variables. Be wary of innocent-looking constructs such as "x++". This may appear atomic at the code layer, but it is actually non-atomic at the instruction layer, since it involves a read, followed by a computation, followed by a write.

Mitigation
Implementation

Use a mutex if available, but be sure to avoid related weaknesses such as CWE-412.

Mitigation
Implementation

Avoid double-checked locking (CWE-609) and other implementation errors that arise when trying to avoid the overhead of synchronization.

Mitigation
Implementation

Disable interrupts or signals over critical parts of the code, but also make sure that the code does not go into a large or infinite loop.

Mitigation
Implementation

Use the volatile type modifier for critical variables to avoid unexpected compiler optimization or reordering. This does not necessarily solve the synchronization problem, but it can help.

Mitigation MIT-17
Architecture and Design Operation

Strategy: Environment Hardening

Run your code using the lowest privileges that are required to accomplish the necessary tasks [REF-76]. If possible, create isolated accounts with limited privileges that are only used for a single task. That way, a successful attack will not immediately give the attacker access to the rest of the software or its environment. For example, database applications rarely need to run as the database administrator, especially in day-to-day operations.

CAPEC-26: Leveraging Race Conditions

The adversary targets a race condition occurring when multiple processes access and manipulate the same resource concurrently, and the outcome of the execution depends on the particular order in which the access takes place. The adversary can leverage a race condition by "running the race", modifying the resource and modifying the normal execution flow. For instance, a race condition can occur while accessing a file: the adversary can trick the system by replacing the original file with their version and cause the system to read the malicious file.

CAPEC-29: Leveraging Time-of-Check and Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) Race Conditions

This attack targets a race condition occurring between the time of check (state) for a resource and the time of use of a resource. A typical example is file access. The adversary can leverage a file access race condition by "running the race", meaning that they would modify the resource between the first time the target program accesses the file and the time the target program uses the file. During that period of time, the adversary could replace or modify the file, causing the application to behave unexpectedly.
