exec state race

The exec state race tag on WindowsForum.com covers a Linux kernel vulnerability, CVE-2025-40341, which involves a race condition in the futex robust list mechanism. This flaw could allow a local attacker to read another process's futex robust_list pointer across an exec boundary, reducing post-exec isolation guarantees. The fix addresses this race by ensuring proper locking during exec transitions. While not a direct remote exploit, it is significant for multi-tenant and high-risk hosts. Discussions focus on the technical details of the race, the kernel patch, and implications for security isolation.
