Bug #2815
openrace condition during file-magic initialization
Affected Versions:

Label:
Description
the function `magic_open()` initializes a static global table (c array) without locking. thus, there is a race condition if multiple threads call `magic_open` in parallel. the corresponding source in the `file` repository is (in function `init_file_tables`);
https://git.in-ulm.de/cbiedl/file/src/master/src/apprentice.c#L389
not sure how the init sequence works in suri. so this could also be a non-issue.
