Recurring patterns

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

Denial of Service: Repeated memory leaks occurred during GStreamer audio decoding when calling Gst.Buffer.extract_dup. This API allocated unfreeable native g_malloc'd memory on every single buffer read, enabling attackers to trigger application crashes via memory exhaustion through sustained audio playback.
