Recurring patterns

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

Denial of Service: Integer overflows when calculating segment addresses can cause the application to panic, resulting in a Denial of Service. This is critical in applications that generate backtraces dynamically under untrusted inputs.
Denial of Service: A resource leak occurs when system-level CoreSymbolication references are not properly released, potentially leading to memory exhaustion over time.
