             Summary: Coverity, volatile not atomically updated in RotatingFileAuditEndpoint (Elytron)
                 Key: ELY-1096
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ELY-1096
             Project: WildFly Elytron
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Martin Choma
            Assignee: Darran Lofthouse
            Priority: Critical


There is variable {{currentSize}} marked with modifier as {{volatile}}, what hint variable {{currentSize}} is used in multithreaded manner, as volatile ensures actual value can be seen between threads.
On the other side there is update operation on {{currentSize}}, which is not written in atomic manner, so can lead race condition.

{code}
    @Override
    protected void write(byte[] bytes) throws IOException {
        super.write(bytes);
        currentSize += bytes.length;
    }
{code}

Setting as Critical as that can lead to strange / hard to reproduce errors.
