Instance members of an ActionFilter attribute is not thread safe – MVC

I was trying to inject a dependency to my filter attribute via Ninject’s property injection.The injected instance was using a database connection too.
And one of the ajax polling call was hitting this attribute every 10 seconds.
Strange i got some thread concurrency issue and site went down.
Later i found that in MVC for each request a controller is created, but for each request the same instance of filter attribute is reused.

You can test this via putting break points in the constructor of controller and attribute.
