Same class of bug that completely broke Android app signing. In that case it was about ZIP file parsing differences (apps checked at install time by one parser, executed using another parser). And also the same bug class that allowed us to bypass Nintendo's mitigation for the Twilight Hack (Wii Zelda savegame exploit), twice. In that case it was about how they handled the savefile archives slightly differently from existing save data and the game itself.
Having multiple parsers for security-sensitive data that isn't just outright signed at an external layer is always a recipe for disaster.
