The Race condition is a privilege escalation vulnerability that
manipulates the time between imposing a security control and
using services in a UNIX like system. This vulnerability is a
result of interferences caused by multiple sequential threads
running in the system and sharing the same resources. Race
condition could occur due to sequence condition imposed by
un-trusted processes or locking failure condition imposed by
secure programs such as operating systems. The race condition
is a common vulnerability in UNIX-like systems, where
directories such as /tmp and /var/tmp are shared between
threads. A study of Race condition vulnerability and its impact
in UNIX like systems are presented in this paper. Also various
types of Race condition attack and there detection, avoidance
and prevention techniques are also discussed in this paper.
