Recurring patterns

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

Memory Corruption: Incompatible JNI pointer casting in native bindings can cause critical memory corruption when calling native API endpoints like Bullet Physics. Type mismatch errors in generated JNI signatures must be prevented during binding compilation.
Buffer Overflow: Unsafe memory operations using direct JVM internal APIs (like UNSAFE.putByte) bypass JVM safety guarantees, leading to severe buffer and integer overflows during direct memory encoding if target buffer bounds are not strictly validated.
Memory Buffer Overflow: Binding signatures that accept array parameters without strictly enforcing native-side length bounds (such as NK_COLOR_COUNT) allow out-of-bounds reads or writes during state table initialization.
