Summary
Several soundness violations exist in the Rust bindings for `MetaCall`, indicatively:
**`MetaCallException::Clone`**: `Clone` is dangerous because it creates a second Rust object that still points to the same foreign `MetaCall` value, but does not actually own or keep that value alive. `value` is shallow copied and `leak=true` does not guarantee safety; `Clone` does not free the `MetaCall` value, but it still stores the same raw pointer. If the original is dropped, the `Clone` can retain a dangling pointer.
**`MetaCallException::new_raw`**: is a safe function that accepts arbitrary raw pointer and dereferences C memory. This function is only correct if the caller gives it a valid, owned `MetaCall` value that must be destroyed by this wrapper. The method should be internal and not exposed to the public API or be declared as unsafe and be correctly documented.
Same issues exist in `MetaCallThrowable::Clone`, `MetaCallThrowable::new_raw`, `MetaCallClass::Clone`, `MetaCallClass::new_raw`, `MetaCallFuture::Clone`, `MetaCallFuture::new_raw`, `MetaCallPointer::Clone`, `MetaCallPointer::new_raw`, `MetaCallFunction::Clone`, `MetaCallFunction::new_raw`, `MetaCallObject::Clone`, and `MetaCallObject::new_raw`.
All issues can be triggered through safe public APIs.

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.
