Recurring patterns

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

Auth Bypass: Attackers can bypass DTLS connection-id validation when processing decrypted fragments, allowing unauthorized fragment injection unless invalid inner types are explicitly rejected.
Auth Bypass: Unprotected CoAP responses received for OSCORE-protected requests must be strictly filtered to drop responses that do not use permitted, RFC-specified response codes, preventing unauthorized message ingestion.
Denial of Service: Deadlocks in the DTLS connection store during eviction handlers can freeze processing, requiring the replacement of synchronized blocks with read/write locks to guarantee availability.
