From 13265971df431a1fd0e16e589bcde3f086deff4b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Allegro Date: Mon, 30 Mar 2026 23:47:04 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] security: fix race condition in interrupt propagation (V-007) Add proper RLock synchronization to prevent race conditions when multiple threads access interrupt state simultaneously. Changes: - tools/interrupt.py: Add RLock, nesting count tracking, new APIs - tools/terminal_tool.py: Remove direct _interrupt_event exposure - tests/tools/test_interrupt.py: Comprehensive race condition tests CVSS: 8.5 (High) Refs: V-007, Issue #48 Fixes: CWE-362: Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource --- tests/tools/test_interrupt.py | 363 +++++++++++++++------------------- tools/interrupt.py | 75 ++++++- tools/terminal_tool.py | 3 +- 3 files changed, 231 insertions(+), 210 deletions(-) diff --git a/tests/tools/test_interrupt.py b/tests/tools/test_interrupt.py index dc0ab4599..2020cd29b 100644 --- a/tests/tools/test_interrupt.py +++ b/tests/tools/test_interrupt.py @@ -1,224 +1,179 @@ -"""Tests for the interrupt system. +"""Tests for interrupt handling and race condition fixes. -Run with: python -m pytest tests/test_interrupt.py -v +Validates V-007: Race Condition in Interrupt Propagation fixes.
