## 🛡️ Layer 16: Atomic Operations (Race Condition Prevention)
|
||||
|
||||
### Purpose
|
||||
Prevents race conditions in critical security operations through atomic lock-based mechanisms.
|
||||
|
||||
### Technical Implementation
|
||||
- **Lock Management:** Map-based lock system with unique keys
|
||||
- **Atomic Operations:** `withLock()` wrapper for critical sections
|
||||
- **Timeout Protection:** Configurable lock timeouts (default: 5 seconds)
|
||||
- **Automatic Cleanup:** Lock removal after operation completion
|
||||
- **Error Handling:** Graceful fallback on lock failures
|
||||
|
||||
### Security Benefits
|
||||
- **Race Condition Prevention:** Eliminates concurrent access vulnerabilities
|
||||
- **Data Integrity:** Ensures consistent state during operations
|
||||
- **Critical Section Protection:** Secures file transfer and cryptographic operations
|
||||
- **Deadlock Prevention:** Automatic cleanup prevents resource exhaustion
|
||||
|
||||
### Implementation Details
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// Atomic operation wrapper
|
||||
return this.atomicOps.withLock(
|
||||
`chunk-${chunkMessage.fileId}`,
|
||||
async () => {
|
||||
// Critical section protected by lock
|
||||
// File chunk processing logic
|
||||
}
|
||||
);
|
||||
```

## 🛡️ Layer 17: DTLS Race Condition Protection (WebRTC Security)
|
||||
|
||||
### Purpose
|
||||
Advanced protection against October 2024 WebRTC DTLS ClientHello race condition vulnerabilities.
|
||||
|
||||
### Technical Implementation
|
||||
- **ICE Endpoint Verification:** Secure validation before DTLS establishment
|
||||
- **ClientHello Validation:** TLS cipher suite and version verification
|
||||
- **Source Authentication:** Cryptographic verification of DTLS packet sources
|
||||
- **Queue Management:** DTLS message queuing during ICE verification
|
||||
- **Timeout Protection:** Configurable verification timeouts
|
||||
|
||||
### Security Benefits
|
||||
- **DTLS Vulnerability Mitigation:** Protects against race condition attacks
|
||||
- **WebRTC Security Enhancement:** Comprehensive transport layer protection
|
||||
- **Endpoint Validation:** Ensures legitimate connection sources
|
||||
- **Protocol Security:** TLS version and cipher suite validation
|
||||
|
||||
### Implementation Details
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// DTLS source validation
|
||||
await this.validateDTLSSource(clientHelloData, expectedSource);
|
||||
|
||||
// ICE endpoint verification
|
||||
this.addVerifiedICEEndpoint(endpoint);
|
||||
|
||||
// DTLS message handling
|
||||
await this.handleDTLSClientHello(clientHelloData, sourceEndpoint);

## 🛡️ Layer 18: Memory Safety Protection (Use-After-Free)
|
||||
|
||||
### Purpose
|
||||
Advanced memory safety mechanisms to prevent use-after-free vulnerabilities and ensure secure data cleanup.
|
||||
|
||||
### Technical Implementation
|
||||
- **Secure Memory Wiping:** Advanced buffer wiping with zero-filling
|
||||
- **Context Isolation:** Symbol-based private instance management
|
||||
- **Memory Cleanup:** Comprehensive cleanup of sensitive data structures
|
||||
- **Error Handling:** Secure error handling without information leakage
|
||||
- **Garbage Collection:** Optional forced GC for critical operations
|
||||
|
||||
### Security Benefits
|
||||
- **Use-After-Free Prevention:** Eliminates memory safety vulnerabilities
|
||||
- **Data Leakage Prevention:** Secure cleanup of sensitive information
|
||||
- **Context Security:** Isolated instance management prevents tampering
|
||||
- **Error Security:** Sanitized error messages prevent information disclosure
|
||||
|
||||
### Implementation Details
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// Secure memory wiping
|
||||
SecureMemoryManager.secureWipe(buffer);
|
||||
|
||||
// Context isolation
|
||||
SecureFileTransferContext.getInstance().setFileTransferSystem(this);
|
||||
|
||||
// Enhanced memory cleanup
|
||||
for (const [key, value] of Object.entries(receivingState)) {
|
||||
if (value instanceof ArrayBuffer || value instanceof Uint8Array) {
|
||||
SecureMemoryManager.secureWipe(value);
|
||||
}
