Subject: [Bug nptl/12683] Race conditions in pthread cancellation
Date: Sun, 29 Apr 2012 02:56:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <bug-12683-131-zBnnTGKdye@http.sourceware.org/bugzilla/> (raw)

--- Comment #3 from Rich Felker <bugdal at aerifal dot cx> 2012-04-29 02:55:59 UTC ---
Ping. Now that there's some will to revisit bugs that have been long-ignored,
is anyone willing to look into and confirm the problem I've reported here? I
believe problem 2 is extremely serious and could lead to timing-based attacks
that corrupt memory and result in deadlocks or worse. Problem 1 is also serious
for long-lived processes with high reliability requirements that use thread
cancellation, as rare but undetectable resource leaks are nearly inevitable and
will accumulate over time.
