Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Memory Corruption: Storing the signed return value of read() (which returns -1 on failure) into an unsigned size_t variable led to a massive integer underflow, bypassing error detection and causing memory corruption or segmentation faults during event processing. Future C changes must ensure all system call return values are stored in appropriate signed types before comparison.
