Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Denial of Service: Negative validation bounds and malformed lengths in C binary decoding allow remote attackers to cause memory exhaustion, heap corruption, or undefined behavior during memory allocation steps.
Auth Bypass: Schema-driven class resolution bypassing ClassSecurityValidator filters allows arbitrary Java class loading if ClassLoader.loadClass is invoked directly instead of ClassUtils.forName.
Denial of Service: Improperly bounded decompression codecs and massive array or map allocations expose the JVM to OutOfMemoryError crashes from untrusted payloads.
