Description
A flaw was found in database/sql. Concurrent queries can produce unexpected results when a query is cancelled during a Scan method call on returned Rows, creating a race condition. This vulnerability allows an attacker who can initiate and cancel queries to trigger this condition, possibly leading to inconsistent data being returned to the application.
Statement
This vulnerability marked as Moderate severity issues rather than Important. The os/exec LookPath flaw requires a misconfigured PATH to be exploitable, and the database/sql race condition primarily impacts applications that cancel queries while running multiple queries concurrently. Both can cause unexpected behavior, but the exploitation scope is limited and unlikely to result in direct compromise in most typical deployments.
