Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Integer Overflow: Multiaddr port parsers failed to validate upper bounds against negative inputs prior to binary conversion, causing integer wrap-around. This allowed invalid or negative ports to successfully serialize into unexpected, valid 16-bit integers.
Path Traversal: IPv6 zone ID transcoding was vulnerable to protocol delimiter injection. A lack of sanitization allowed forward slashes ('/') in zone IDs to escape the address boundary and alter the parsed multiaddr structure.
