Recurring patterns

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

Memory Corruption: Buffer overflow in marshaling due to insufficient capacity limiting on append operations, allowing out-of-bounds writes when a larger backing buffer is present.
Integer Overflow: Integer overflow in unmarshaling length calculation (uint64(k)+m) leading to out-of-bounds reads; fixed by switching to subtraction-based checks.
