Recurring patterns

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

Out-of-bounds Access: Most frequently patched class; multiple distinct index-validation gaps (section data, channel counts, scale factors) have allowed OOB reads/writes.
Integer Overflow: Integer overflows in fixed-point arithmetic and allocation-size calculations have led to OOB reads and heap overflows; multiple fixes needed to add pre-checks or adjust shifts.
Heap Buffer Overflow: Allocation size calculations and loop bounds in MP4 parsing and audio output have repeatedly overflowed, leading to heap corruption.
