Memory leaks are usually (accurately) treated as DoS. OoM killer is a mitigation to contain them and not DoS the entire OS.

I could be wrong. But operation by design isn't considered a bug.

It is if some other condition is violated that is more important. Then the design might have to be reconsidered.

If it is faulty, then it's not a bug, it's a flaw.

you either get OOMed or next malloc fails and that's also going to wreck havoc
