Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Auth Bypass: Multiple fixes address TLS certificate chain validation, hostname verification, and handshake state management; a bypass here undermines all TLS-protected traffic.
Buffer Overflow: Recurring buffer overflows in TLS record parsing, DER parsing, and HTTP/URL handling; often due to missing length checks or off-by-one errors.
Memory Corruption: Memory corruption spans TLS encryption/decryption, MQTT parsing, DNS resolution, and network buffer management; often from incorrect sizes, double-frees, or uninitialized memory.
