Out-of-bounds read in `Log2Cache::nlog2n()`, `nlog2n_difference()` and `plog2p()`

CISA KEV is observed exploitation evidence. FIRST EPSS is a dated prediction of exploitation in the next 30 days. Missing scores are unknown. This collector requests predictions only for explicit CVE aliases in the public NuGet archive; Microsoft release views retain their existing prediction scope.

No collected risk observation for these identifiers. This does not establish absence of exploitation or a zero probability.

`Log2Cache::new(n)` fills its three tables with entries for `0..=n`, but the three accessor methods index those tables with `get_unchecked` on a value the caller supplies. Nothing bounds the argument and nothing documents a bound, so any value above the `n` the cache was built with reads past the end of the vector. `CountType` is `u32`, so the read can land up to `u32::MAX` elements away, and `plog2p()` returns the value it read, disclosing whatever lies there. For example, `Log2Cache::new(4)` builds tables holding 5 entries (indices 0,1,2,3,4). Then `cache.nlog2n(60000)` reads index 60000, far outside the allocation. Under AddressSanitizer this faults with `SEGV`; Miri reports it as undefined behavior at `src/log2cache.rs:42`. `nlog2n_difference()` is off by one further: in the affected versions `new(n)` pushes `n` entries into that table rather than `n + 1`, so even `nlog2n_difference(n)` is out of bounds. This can be triggered through safe public APIs — `Log2Cache::new()` and any of `nlog2n()`, `nlog2n_difference()` and `plog2p()` — with no `unsafe` required from the caller.
