About this tag
The kernel-race-condition tag covers discussions about concurrency bugs in operating system kernels that can lead to security vulnerabilities. Recent content includes CVE-2026-23411, a Linux kernel AppArmor race condition causing denial of service through total availability loss, and CVE-2025-54105, a local elevation-of-privilege vulnerability in Microsoft's Brokering File System (BFS) stemming from a race condition. These threads highlight how race conditions in kernel or kernel-adjacent components can be exploited by local attackers for crashes, stalls, or privilege escalation. The tag focuses on technical analysis of such flaws, their impact on system security, and mitigation strategies.
