GhostRace Attack: Major CPU and Software Giants Flaw Let Attackers Steal Passwords

Race conditions arise when there is no insufficient synchronization with a shared resource allowing multiple threads to access it simultaneously. The use of synchronization primitives such as mutexes, spinlock, etc. prevents these race conditions,   However, researchers have discovered a new race condition called “GhostRace ” which bypasses these synchronization primitives on speculatively executed code paths […]
