That’s entirely my point. If a vulnerability happens due to writing out of bounds during untrusted deserialization, which category would you file it under?

“Deserialization of untrusted data” isn’t even a security bug like an out of bounds write is. Every meaningful program deserializes external input. It’s a common area where bugs occur, but it’s not a type of bug in and of itself. Every bug in that category “belongs” in a more proximate category.
