Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Use-After-Free: Multiple fixes address command-context lifetime, indicating a fragile reference-counting scheme where pointers can dangle before refcounts are set.
Use-After-Free: Callbacks that use session pointers without holding references or checking liveness have been patched twice, suggesting a systemic issue in async command handling.
Buffer Overflow: Variable-length message handling with unchecked sizes led to heap overflows; the fix enforces fixed-size structs, but similar parsing paths may exist elsewhere.
