Recurring patterns

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

Sandbox Escape: Multiple sandbox escape fixes in rlbox and wasm2c sandbox highlight recurring weaknesses in boundary and pointer validation; any bypass defeats the sandbox's core isolation promise.
Sandbox Escape: Sandbox policy construction in both Linux and Windows had flaws (overly permissive paths, wildcard characters) that could expand the attack surface or allow escape.
Out-of-bounds Read: Multiple PipeWire-related OOB reads from missing size/bounds checks on mmap'ed buffers and SPA pods; these are adjacent components sharing the same underlying data source.
