It’s not. It’s literally code in an
unsafeblock. The OP is either trolling or actually ignorant.https://doc.rust-lang.org/nomicon/races.html
I know that it was unsafe block in this CVE, but the irony of the situation is funny.
Not only unironic but explained in the doc you referenced:
“However Rust does not prevent general race conditions.
This is mathematically impossible in situations where you do not control the scheduler, which is true for the normal OS environment.”
