Recurring patterns

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

Dependency Vulnerability: Five separate fixes were required to patch the bundled OpenSSL library across multiple release lines (1.1.0g through 1.1.1g), indicating a chronic pattern of shipping vulnerable versions. Each fix was a reactive bump to a patched release, meaning the project was exposed until the update landed.
Dependency Update: The only non-library fix was a version constraint bump in Cargo.toml to force the use of OpenSSL 1.1.1g, showing that the declared dependency version can lag behind the actual patched submodule, creating a mismatch risk.
