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

Out-of-bounds Read: Variable offset validation was vulnerable to an integer overflow, which could allow out-of-bounds memory access through unsafe.Pointer. This poses a significant threat to memory safety within the eBPF loader subsystem.
Out-of-bounds Read: Malformed ELF inputs with corrupt BTF header offsets could cause integer overflows during length validation, leading to out-of-bounds slicing or application panics. This vulnerability is tracked as CVE-2026-10722.
