Recurring patterns

The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.

Privilege Escalation: Multiple fixes address privilege dropping order and socket binding, indicating a high-risk area where misordering can lead to privilege escalation or service failure.

Denial of Service: Recurring DoS fixes target accept loops and RRDP processing, showing that network-facing components are prone to crashes or hangs on malformed input.

Path Traversal: Path traversal via RRDP URIs and rsync paths in rpki-rs shows external input handling is a critical attack surface for arbitrary file writes.
