In fact we need four conditions to hold.
No two processes may be simultaneously inside their critical sections.
No assumptions may be made about the speed or the number of processors.
No process running outside its critical section may block other processes.
No process should have to wait forever to enter its critical section.

Critical section is the part of program code where the program changes global variables, writing files etc. So entering more than one process in their critical section may cause race condition.
