galloc is a pure-Go offset allocator with no external dependencies, no unsafe code, and no network or file system access. Security concerns are primarily limited to:
- Denial of service via crafted inputs (e.g., exhausting node pool)
- Panic-inducing inputs (e.g., double-free detection)
- Logic errors in allocation/coalescing that could cause overlapping regions
Only the latest release receives security updates.
