CWE: CWE-770 \u2014 Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling
The product allocates a reusable resource or group of resources on behalf of an actor without imposing any restrictions on the size or number of resources that can be allocated, in violation of the intended security policy for that actor.

Code:
func (e *Engine) findOrCreate(p peer.ID) *ledger {
	// Take a read lock (as it's less expensive) to check if we have a ledger
	// for the peer
	e.lock.RLock()
	l, ok := e.ledgerMap[p]
	e.lock.RUnlock()
	if ok {
		return l
	}

	// There's no ledger, so take a write lock, then check again and create the
	// ledger if necessary
	e.lock.Lock()
	defer e.lock.Unlock()
	l, ok = e.ledgerMap[p]
	if !ok {
		l = newLedger(p)
		e.ledgerMap[p] = l
	}
	return l
}
