Recurring patterns

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

Authentication Bypass: Multiple fixes address DTLS certificate verification bypasses: weak hash acceptance, missing fingerprint checks, and incomplete remote fingerprint setting before handshake. These indicate a critical surface where a single missed check allows MITM or unauthorized connections.

Auth Bypass: Several fixes in Videobridge.java address authorization bypasses: null focus handling, authorized source pattern matching, and SCTP endpoint creation. This component is a central request-handling surface where logic errors can allow unauthorized operations.

Resource Exhaustion: Recurring buffer pool leaks and missing resource cleanup across multiple components can be exploited for memory exhaustion DoS. The pattern of incomplete teardown suggests a systemic issue with resource lifecycle management.
