Recurring patterns

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

Integer Overflow: The core memory allocator performs arithmetic on buffer sizes without overflow checks, which can lead to undersized allocations and heap corruption. This is a foundational primitive used across the server, so a flaw here has broad impact.

TLS/SSL Misconfiguration: OpenSSL context creation and option setting were not enforcing secure TLS settings, leaving the server vulnerable to protocol-level attacks such as downgrades or weak cipher negotiation.
