Recurring patterns

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

Integer Overflow: Allocation size computed as (unsigned int)count * sizeof(double) can overflow, leading to undersized heap buffers and subsequent heap overflow.
Use-After-Free: Deallocation path calls Py_DECREF on exporter without clearing the reference first, allowing a dangling pointer to be dereferenced later.
Memory Safety: PyBuffer_FillInfo called without correctly propagating readonly flag, permitting writes to read-only memory regions.
