Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Buffer Overflow: Inadequate size constraints during raw byte copying to internal instruction buffers via memcpy can lead to heap corruption when processing unexpected instruction lengths.
Integer Overflow to Buffer Overflow: Kernel-mode memory wrappers are vulnerable to integer overflows during allocation size calculations, resulting in under-allocated buffers that are subsequently overflowed.
Stack-based Buffer Overflow: Deeply nested IT (If-Then) blocks in Thumb instructions can exceed the static stack-allocated state tracking buffer size, resulting in stack corruption.
