Recurring patterns

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

Denial of Service: Processing short Modbus TLS frames without validating minimum length constraints triggers unhandled index out-of-range exceptions, crashing the communication channel.
Denial of Service: An attacker can cause unbounded memory consumption and potential crash by sending continuous stream data without resetting the internal receive buffer when it exceeds safety limits.
Denial of Service: Querying negative or out-of-bounds register addresses triggers unhandled exceptions within datastore blocks instead of returning a clean Modbus illegal address error code, halting execution.
