Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Integer Overflow: Multiple overflow paths in escaping functions (CEscape, BytesToHexString, UrlEscapeInternal) and hex parsing can lead to heap buffer overflow or validation bypass.
Integer Overflow: Hash table capacity and allocation size calculations are prone to size_t overflow, leading to undersized allocations and memory corruption.
Buffer Overflow: Demangling output buffer writes lack adequate bounds checks, allowing out-of-bounds writes when results exceed buffer size.
