CVE-2014-9748 (CCN-114710)

Assigned:2015-10-02
Published:2016-06-13
Updated:2022-08-12
Summary:The uv_rwlock_t fallback implementation for Windows XP and Server 2003 in libuv before 1.7.4 does not properly prevent threads from releasing the locks of other threads, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (deadlock) or possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging a race condition.
