HIGH 7.8

DescriptionNVD

Mbed TLS before 3.6.4 has a race condition in AESNI detection if certain compiler optimizations occur. An attacker may be able to extract an AES key from a multithreaded program, or perform a GCM forgery.

Analysis

Technical ContextAI

A race condition occurs when the behavior of software depends on the timing of events, such as the order of execution of threads or processes.

RemediationAI

Use proper synchronization mechanisms (locks, mutexes, atomic operations). Implement file locking for filesystem operations. Avoid TOCTOU patterns.
