Membership
| ID | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| CWE-479 | Signal Handler Use of a Non-reentrant Function | This vulnerability occurs when a signal handler in your code calls a function that is not safe to re-enter. If that function is interrupted and called again before it finishes, it can corrupt memory and crash your program or create security weaknesses. |
| CWE-662 | Improper Synchronization | This vulnerability occurs when a multi-threaded or multi-process application allows shared resources to be accessed by multiple threads or processes simultaneously, without proper safeguards to enforce exclusive access. |
| CWE-734 | Weaknesses Addressed by the CERT C Secure Coding Standard (2008) | CWE entries in this view (graph) are fully or partially eliminated by following the guidance presented in the book "The CERT C Secure Coding Standard" published in 2008. This view is considered obsolete, as a newer version of the coding standard is available. This view statically represents the coding rules as they were in 2008. |
Vulnerability Mapping Notes
Usage: Prohibited
Reasons: Category
Rationale:
This entry is a Category. Using categories for mapping has been discouraged since 2019. Categories are informal organizational groupings of weaknesses that can help CWE users with data aggregation, navigation, and browsing. However, they are not weaknesses in themselves.
