Recurring patterns

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

Memory Safety: Incorrect memory size calculations during realloc operations in CGo boundaries can lead to heap buffer overflows, potentially allowing arbitrary code execution or process crashes when handling value lists.
Denial of Service: Parsing network payloads without verifying minimal required byte lengths before slicing or reading headers causes runtime panics, exposing the application to remote denial of service attacks.
