Inconsistent locking

Vulnerability potential	High
DDoS potential	High

The interthread locking is used inconsistently. For example, the same variable is used both in locked and unlocked contexts.

Impact

The issue might lead to data corruption and coherence errors.

Vulnerability potential

High potential.

Technical details

Locking context might differ. But, realistically, if a field or a variable is used in locked context, it means that it might be used across threads, so atomic reads and assignments are important.
