Techniques & Countermeasures

  • CWE-667•Improper Locking

    The product does not properly acquire or release a lock on a resource, leading to unexpected resource state changes and behaviors.

  • CWE-362•Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization ('Race Condition')

    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.
