Recurring patterns

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

Integer Overflow: Multiple overflow fixes in CFI parsing, both in table header and advance_loc address calculation, show a systemic lack of checked arithmetic for size and address computations.
Integer Overflow: Two separate fixes address the same address-range overflow in aranges parsing, indicating a repeated failure to guard end-address computation with overflow checks.
Integer Overflow: Address advancement in line program evaluation can overflow, risking incorrect address calculations and potential memory safety issues downstream.
