Recurring patterns

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

Auth Bypass: Gaps in validating KeyUsage, certificate chains, and domain names can lead to signature or certificate validation bypasses in JSSE connections. Strict validation is required during certificate verification.

Memory Corruption: Font layout and table sanitization processing in native HarfBuzz routines are vulnerable to memory corruption and out-of-bounds safety failures, requiring frequent updates and strict bounds verification.

Deserialization of Untrusted Data: Insecure deserialization pathways in ObjectInputStream and custom readObject overrides have historically enabled remote code execution or verification bypasses, requiring defensive validation or filtering.
