Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) Race Condition

TOCTOU Race Condition in specific trace commands of the TraceEvent() system call could allow an attacker with local access and with the PROCMGR_AID_TRACE ability, to cause information disclosure, data tampering or a crash of the QNX Neutrino kernel.Show less

OpenClaw versions before 2026.6.9 contain a symlink following vulnerability in the mirror sync feature that allows lower-trust callers to perform actions requiring stronger authorization. Attackers can exploit remote symlink parents to bypass policy checks and authorization boundaries when the feature is enabled and reachable.Show less

Kernel software installed and running inside a Host VM may post improper commands to the GPU Firmware to trigger a memory write outside the permitted range of memory for the host kernel. A TOCTOU bug existed where a malicious driver could modify values in memory after firmware validation but before use.Show less

9Router is an AI router & token saver. Prior to 0.5.2, 9router validates image URLs by resolving the host before fetching, but open-sse/translator/concerns/image.js performs the later server-side image fetch with a separate DNS resolution. An authenticated attacker with access to the LLM proxy can use a vision-capable model and an attacker-controlled DNS name that first resolves to a public IP and then rebinds to an internal address, allowing server-side requests to internal-only HTTP services. This issue is fixed in version 0.5.2.Show less

ChatterBot is a machine learning, conversational dialog engine for creating chat bots. Prior to 1.2.14, UbuntuCorpusTrainer.extract() uses a predictable home-rooted output directory (~/ubuntu_data/ubuntu_dialogs) with a check-then-create pattern followed by tar.extractall(path=self.data_path), allowing a local attacker who pre-plants a symlink at the predictable path to cause archive contents to be written through the symlink to an attacker-chosen directory. This issue is fixed in version 1.2.14.Show less

varstored is a component of the Xapi toolstack handling UEFI Variables for a VM. It has a communication path with OVMF inside the VM involving mapping a buffer prepared by OVMF. Within varstored, there were insufficient compiler barriers, creating TOCTOU issues with data in the shared buffer. The exact vulnerable behaviour depends on the code generated by the compiler. In a build of varstored using default settings, the attacker can control an index used in a jump table.Show less

CoreWCF is a port of the service side of Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) to .NET Core. Prior to 1.8.1 and 1.9.1, CoreWCF NetNamedPipe transport accepts attachment to a pre-existing named pipe instance, allowing local interception of NetNamedPipe traffic when an attacker races NamedPipeListener startup between shared memory GUID publication and service named pipe creation. This issue is fixed in versions 1.8.1 and 1.9.1.Show less

FOSSBilling is a free, open-source billing and client management system. Prior to version 0.8.0, a race condition in the cart checkout flow allows an authenticated client to apply a promo code beyond its configured maximum uses. By sending concurrent checkout requests before any single request completes the usage increment, a client can obtain unlimited discounted or free orders from a single-use or limited-use promo code. Version 0.8.0 patches the issue. Some workarounds are available. Disable promo codes entirely until a patch is available or monitor the `promo` table for `used` values exceeding `maxuses` and manually review affected orders.Show less

Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) race condition vulnerability in Erlang/OTP ssl (dtls_packet_demux module) allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to crash all active DTLS sessions on a listener. A DTLS server listener uses a single shared dtls_packet_demux gen_server process to route incoming UDP datagrams to the correct connection handler. When a DTLS client reconnects rapidly from the same source address and port (sending multiple ClientHello messages in quick succession), a race condition in the demux's internal gb_trees key-value store causes a {key_exists, {old, Client}} crash, terminating the demux process. Because the demux is shared across all DTLS associations on that listener, its crash immediately kills every active DTLS session, not just the attacker's. The attack is pre-authentication: the attacker only needs to send UDP datagrams containing valid ClientHello messages from the same source IP and port before the intermediate DOWN monitor message is processed by the gen_server. No credentials, no completed handshake, and no special configuration are required, and the crash can be repeated indefinitely to create a persistent denial of service for all clients of that listener. This vulnerability is associated with program file lib/ssl/src/dtls_packet_demux.erl. This issue affects OTP from OTP 25.3 before 29.0.3, 28.5.0.3, and 27.3.4.14 corresponding to ssl from 10.9 before 11.7.3, 11.6.0.3, and 11.2.12.10.Show less

NVIDIA Container Toolkit for Linux contains a vulnerability where an attacker could cause a time-of-check time-of-use race condition. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to code execution, escalation of privileges, and data tampering.Show less

Improper certificate validation and a time-of-check time-of-use (TOCTOU) race condition in the PrivilegedHelperTool XPC service in Cato Client before v.5.13.1 on macOS allows a local authenticated attacker to escalate privileges to root via a self-signed certificate that bypasses the XPC caller verification and a symlink swap during package installation.Show less

Hi.Events through 1.9.0 contains a promo code validation vulnerability where reservation validates usage count before asynchronous UpdateEventStatisticsJob increments it, allowing attackers to redeem limited promo codes unlimited times. Attackers can sequentially reserve multiple orders with the same restricted promo code, each reading order_usage_count=0 and passing validation, then complete them all at discounted prices without concurrent requests.Show less
