Version

omniORB 2.7.0 and earlier

Description

There is a race condition in the implementation of locks for strands, which can lead to omniORB referencing to a strand which has been destroyed. This has lead to occasional crashes on Win32 and OpenVMS VAX platforms, but could potentially effect other platforms also.

This bug manifests itself very rarely - it is only a problem under certain circumstances when a connection to a client fails. You need only apply this patch if your server is experiencing occasional failures.

Patch

Apply this patch.

The patch changes src/lib/omniORB2/orbcore/strand.cc
