Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Denial of Service: Heap-allocated ThreadSafeData instances were leaked during failed non-blocking calls, leading to memory exhaustion if an application repeatedly fails thread-safe callbacks. Developers must ensure all failure branches explicitly free dynamically allocated context objects.
Denial of Service: Memory leaks occurred when progress callbacks completed without deleting the corresponding ThreadSafeData object. Proper cleanup logic must be consistently applied upon callback completion to avoid gradual resource exhaustion.
Denial of Service: Improper deallocation of the node_async_context structure during napi_async_destroy calls causes persistent memory buildup whenever asynchronous resources are torn down.
