A.8.19 Installation of software on operational systems partial match
removes
A.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match
blocks

A.8.25 mandates secure SDLC practices (secure coding guidelines, security requirements, checkpoints, testing including code scans/penetration tests, and developer training) that reach race conditions in multithreaded code, but leaves a bounded remainder where implementation is incomplete or the specific synchronization flaw slips past the chosen methodology and tests.

A.8.26 Application security requirements partial match
blocks

A.8.26 only requires that race-condition-relevant requirements (e.g. thread safety, synchronization) be identified during requirements gathering; it performs no enforcement, design, or implementation act that stops the CWE-366 condition from being exploitable when present.

A.8.27 Secure system architecture and engineering principles partial match

Secure architecture principles address concurrent access and resource synchronization.

Secure coding standards directly require proper synchronization primitives to prevent race conditions.

Security testing can detect race conditions through concurrency and stress testing.
