Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Memory Safety: Unsafe pointer-arithmetic loops during DEFLATE stream inflation allowed direct offset manipulation, risking out-of-bounds memory access and memory corruption. Safe indexing must be prioritized over raw pointer offsets.
Memory Safety: Prematurely invoking 'set_len' on a buffer with an invalid run length can expose uninitialized memory. An early exit or strict length check must precede any manual buffer length modification.
