ReadCfTable builds the table straight from the bytes of the cf-table file and only checks that the length is a multiple of the word size, so nothing guarantees the records are terminated. InitializeControlFlowGraph then walks that table with two inner loops that index cf_table[j] without comparing j against the size, and InitializeCallGraph does the same thing a few lines down. On a table whose last record is missing its delimiters both loops run off the end of the vector and keep scanning heap memory until they happen to hit a zero word, copying whatever they read into the successor and callee lists. The FUZZTEST_CHECK_LE at the bottom of each loop body does catch the overrun, but only after the reads have already happened, so it reports the damage rather than preventing it. On a three-word table it fires with j at 11, which means eight words were read past a twenty-four byte allocation. Adding the size comparison to the four inner loop conditions leaves that check to reject a malformed table before anything is read out of bounds, and well-formed tables walk exactly as before. The two death tests cover the truncated table in each builder; both die on the out-of-bounds scan instead of the check without this change.
