3 high-severity fixes in this history; regressions here are high-impact.
Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Memory Safety: Inadequate input length validation before calling underlying C BoringSSL decapsulation functions allowed out-of-bounds memory access when processing short encapsulated keys. This can lead to remote crashes or memory disclosure.
Buffer Overflow: A redundant loop iteration during byte-to-hex-string translation using unsafe mutable pointers created a potential out-of-bounds memory write during allocation operations.
Key Management Errors: A bitwise shift serialization bug corrupted length octets for content sizes of 128 bytes or larger, impacting the integrity of ASN.1 encoded structures such as private keys and certificates.
