CVE-2014-9748
HIGHlibuv < 1.7.4 - Denial of Service via Race Condition in Windows XP RWLock Implementation
Title source: llmDescription
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.
