kernel race conditions
Kernel race conditions refer to situations in which multiple concurrent processes or threads in an operating system's kernel unintentionally access shared resources (such as memory or hardware) simultaneously, leading to unpredictable and erroneous behavior. These race conditions occur when the outcome of the task depends on the relative timing of these processes or threads, resulting in race conditions that can cause crashes, data corruption, or security vulnerabilities.
