CVE-2026-42788: Elixir Oversized Binary Payload Exhaustion
The binary parsing logic extracts a payload of `binary-size($LEN)` before evaluating a size limit check (e.g., `when $LEN > $MAX`). This forces the Erlang VM to fully buffer up to `$LEN` bytes into memory prior to evaluating the guard and rejecting the oversized input, which can be abused for unauthenticated memory exhaustion. To prevent this, validate the f
