Oxia is a metadata store and coordination system. Prior to 0.16.2, a race condition between session heartbeat processing and session closure can cause the server to panic with send on closed channel. The heartbeat() method uses a blocking channel send while holding a mutex, and under specific timing with concurrent close() calls, this can lead to either a deadlock (channel buffer full) or a panic (send on closed channel after TOCTOU gap in KeepAlive). This vulnerability is fixed in 0.16.2.
No affected version ranges are stored yet. Use the vendor advisory before you decide this record does not apply.
