this vulnerability was i believe found by an llm (filtered by a human), then has a vibe coded root privilege exploit attached. it's mentioned as a "operator precedence bug" but I can't say I'd really categorize it that way. they messed up the write size calculation and it leads to a tremendous out-of-bounds write. you can fix it by changing precedence, but you can also fix it by changing a + to a -.
