CVE-2026-40943

Oxia: Server crash via race condition in session heartbeat handling

Published Apr 21, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 8.7 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
Oxia is a metadata store and coordination system. Prior to 0.16.2, a race condition between session heartbeat processing and session closure can cause the server to panic with send on closed channel. The heartbeat() method uses a blocking channel send while holding a mutex, and under specific timing with concurrent close() calls, this can lead to either a deadlock (channel buffer full) or a panic (send on closed channel after TOCTOU gap in KeepAlive). This vulnerability is fixed in 0.16.2.
