# Implementation Defect (Availability Context)

A flaw in code logic, parsing, memory handling, or resource handling that causes crash, hang, or degradation when triggered—**without** requiring volume/intensity to exceed normal capacity. Includes algorithmic complexity weaknesses (e.g., ReDoS). Maps to `#2` or `#3` per R-ROLE, not `#6`.

**Reference:** §4.2.2 (Global Definitions), R-FLOOD (§4.2.5)
