Summary
The `bytes_helper` module contains multiple public functions (`into_arr4()`, `into_arr2()`, `u8_from_le_bytes()`) that use `slice.get_unchecked(pos..pos + N)` without verifying that `pos + N <= slice.len()`. These are public safe API functions, allowing any caller to trigger undefined behavior by passing invalid positions.
For example, calling `into_arr4(&data, 10)` where `data` is a 3-byte slice causes an out-of-bounds access since position 10 exceeds the slice length.

Fencer Intel keeps one entry per vulnerability: the CVE id wins, then GHSA, and records that alias each other are merged, except that two CVEs always keep separate entries. The same data is available as JSON.
