[go-nuts] How likely is a data race to allow arbitrary code execution?

I know that in Go a data race is undefined behavior. How likely is the undefined behavior likely to result in an exploitable security bug, where "exploitable" means more than just denial-of-service? I am looking for qualitative estimates here. Is it the kind of bug that would be almost
