Twenty-six confirmed findings from the fourth audit round, landed as one
cluster because they were found by agents working over disjoint file sets.
The one worth calling out is a pair of AACS tests that could not fail.
Both asserted CBC behaviour against a hand-rolled expectation that
happened to be IV-independent, so replacing AACS_IV with sixteen zero
bytes left them passing — they were pinning the code's own arithmetic,
not the published constant. Replaced with a literal witness of the
published IV plus the NIST SP 800-38A F.2.2 CBC-AES128 vector, and
verified the other way round: zeroing AACS_IV now fails three tests.
The rest are allocation and correctness work on hot paths: the Annex-B
writer in demux_sink allocated and freed a whole-frame Vec per frame,
which for a UHD title is ~200,000 allocations over the mmap threshold
plus the page faults to first-touch each one; it now reuses a buffer on
the writer, and still takes the NAL prefix width from the configuration
record rather than assuming four.
Six findings whose real fix lives in a consumer crate are recorded for
re-filing rather than patched here.
All 21 findings held up under verification; 15 fixed here, 6 deferred to files
another agent held this round, 0 rejected.
**A defect in my own round-2 probe fix.** CHUNK_SECTORS was 1024, and
1024 % 3 == 1 — verified — so every chunk after the first was misaligned against
the 6144-byte AACS aligned unit and would be REJECTED by
DecryptingSectorSource's alignment gate. On an encrypted disc the forced-subtitle
probe I added last round would have read almost nothing past its first chunk.
Now 1023 sectors (341 aligned units) with a const assertion that fails the build
if it stops dividing, plus set_unit_base per extent so the source's gate is
anchored where the extent actually starts.
**The same probe skipped sectors on a short read**, advancing by the REQUESTED
count rather than the bytes actually returned, so a partial read silently left a
gap in the middle of the evidence. It now advances by n/SECTOR_BYTES and clamps n
to the buffer.
**Its cache key omitted the PGS PID set**, so a playlist declaring an extra
subtitle PID got another playlist's verdict for a track that had never been
probed. And the key was the whole extent list, so partial clip sharing missed
entirely. Both fixed by keying (start_lba, sector_count, pid) — and per-extent
keying was shown SOUND rather than assumed: ForcedTracker is two monotone
booleans, so per-extent evidence composes by field-wise OR, order- and
grouping-independently. Making that honest required per-extent demux state, so an
extent's evidence comes only from its own bytes, and memoising only extents whose
read reached a designed stop.
**A reachable panic in the timeline.** mkvstream::parse_block accepts a
TimestampScale up to i64::MAX, so a video frame can set high_ns = i64::MAX and the
next passive frame panicked adding the backstep. In release it wrapped negative
instead, firing the straggler clamp for essentially every passive frame — audio
and subtitles rewritten onto the wrong point of the output timeline. All four
sites saturate.
**A public constructor divided by zero**: PrefetchedSectorSource::new_with_events
with unit_align == 0. Now InvalidInput, matching its batch_sectors sibling.
**Two Debug impls printed key material.** DiscInputs (volume_id, mkb, unit_key_ro,
samples) and UnitKeyFile both derived Debug. Nothing logs them today — fixed as
prevention, because the next tracing::debug! someone adds is the leak. A doc claim
that DiscInputs "contains no secrets" was false and is corrected.
**An env-var multiply could overflow** in file_sector_source; now bounded at 64 GiB
like its writeback sibling, with the parse split out so the bound is testable
without touching process env.
**The mp4 demuxer allowed one sample per file byte** — ~64x RAM amplification.
Now file_len/16, since only vide/soun tracks are indexed and the shortest legal
AC-3 frame is 128 bytes.
**Two pipeline concurrency defects**: a consumer apply() error was invisible to the
producer, and abandon/finalise had a TOCTOU where a caller could report an
unfinalised output. Both fixed with compare-exchange state rather than a bool.
**Two per-frame copies removed**, both MEASURED rather than reasoned: the AU
assembler now hands its allocation to the frame (same pointer, unchanged capacity,
proven by asserting the pointer) and tsmux reuses one Annex-B buffer across
frames. Both keep capacity deliberately — a naive split_off would have cost more
than it saved.
**A comment pointed at the wrong file** for a mirrored constant; the mirror is now
compiler-enforced with a const assertion converting 90 kHz ticks to ns, so drift
fails the build.
Deferred to another agent's files, all confirmed: detect_rate's fractional-twin
snap, the mp4 reserve's u32 truncation, round_up_grain's overflow, the quadratic
base-key gap fill, and MkvStream's frame cap counting frames rather than bytes.
Every fix verified red by reverting it. Also noted for later:
DecodeSampleSet still derives Debug over multi-MB of on-disc ciphertext.
The `Ok(_) | Err(_)` arm in resolve_and_apply_traced conflates "this source
had no entry for the disc" with "this source failed", and reports both as
KeyNode::NoEntry. An operator whose key server is returning 502s is therefore
told their disc is not in the database.
The conflation is real but LATENT, and fixing it here would change nothing an
operator can see, because no shipped KeySource ever returns Err:
KeydbSource::get_unit_keys maps a load/parse failure to Ok(Vec::new()),
OnlineSource::get_unit_keys is Ok(self.query(ctx)) where query returns empty on
transport error, HTTP status, oversize body and bad JSON alike, and MultiSource
discards inner Errs. Only test doubles return Err. FetchOutcome::errored in
drive_unit_keys / drive_fmts_indexes is dead for the same reason — the right
contract, honoured by no source.
autorip already works around the missing signal by re-probing the service over
HTTP (probe_online_reachability / key_service_transient_status), and its own
comment names the incident: "the online keysource swallows every failure
(transport error, 502, timeout)".
So the fix belongs at the source boundary in freemkv-keysources, with
Disc::aacs_error as the channel the operator actually reads — not in this
trace. Documented here so the next reader does not assume the arm works, and
does not "fix" a dead path as I nearly did twice.
resolve_and_apply_traced collapsed `Ok(_) | Err(_)` into a single
KeyNode::NoEntry step, so a key source that FAILED — server unreachable, keydb
unreadable, malformed entry — was recorded identically to one that simply had no
entry for this disc. The front-end renders that trace, so it told the operator
their disc is not in the database when the real cause was a fixable
infrastructure problem. drive_unit_keys and drive_fmts_indexes were refactored
this cycle to preserve exactly this distinction; this path had not been.
KeyNode gains a SourceFailed variant and the two arms are split. freemkv's
trace renderer matches KeyNode exhaustively with no catch-all, so its arm is
added in the same change — otherwise the consumer would not build.
Also made ETSI TS 102 114 the primary authority for DTS_AMODE_COUNT's comment
rather than a reference decoder internal symbol, and pointed it at this
crate's own cross-checked DTS_AMODE_LAYOUT / DTS_AMODE_CH tables.
A round-2 finding asked for every a reference decoder and a reference decoder citation in the DTS parser
to be stripped as a public-repo hygiene violation. Rejected: the project's rules
(scan-secrets.sh, CLAUDE.md) prohibit internal infrastructure references and
reverse-engineering material, and a reference-decoder citation is neither. The
AMODE channel-count table is a factual table from the standard, not expression
copied from an implementation. Citing the spec plus a corroborating
implementation is how a decodability gate should be justified.
- dts: accept all 16 legal AMODE channel-arrangement codes (0-15), not just
0-9. Per ETSI TS 102 114 the 6-bit AMODE field has 16 defined arrangements;
only 16-63 are reserved. a reference decoder the spec per-AMODE channel table confirms 10-15 are
decodable 6/7/8-channel layouts. The old bound of 10 dropped spec-legal
multichannel core frames as undecodable, silencing recoverable audio. Add a
regression test (literal 0..16 range) that fails if the bound reverts to 10.
- keysource: only memoize a NEGATIVE (empty) key-fetch result when every source
genuinely ran and none held the key — never when a source Err'd (network down,
unreachable). A transient outage was being cached as a permanent "no key" for
the fingerprint, permanently dropping a unit that could be recovered once the
source came back. Thread an `errored` flag out of the drivers and gate the
cache insert on it. Tests cover both the recover-after-outage case and that a
genuine absence is still memoized.
- pgs_forced_probe: add happy-path coverage feeding real synthetic BD-TS PGS
display sets through the full demux -> parse -> observe -> apply path, both a
forced verdict landing and a non-forced verdict clearing a vendor flag.
- mp4: correct fit_report doc (audio carried is AC-3/E-AC-3 AND DTS/DTS-HD).
- scan_iso test: add independent fixture expectations (volume id) so the parity
test is no longer purely tautological against a re-run of the same composition.
mp4 demuxer (untrusted input): bound every allocation sized from a box
field (stsz/stco/stsc counts, stts/ctts run-lengths, per-sample and moov
sizes, plus an absolute cap so a sparse file can't inflate file_len);
guard the parse_stsd slice and a zero mdhd timescale; cap track count so
the per-track PID can't overflow; rewrite read_moov to handle size==0 /
size<8 / 64-bit largesize; parse esds/AudioSpecificConfig for AAC; write
tkhd duration in the movie timescale.
decrypt: resolve_mux_key_map now fails loud on an extent no key can
classify instead of inheriting the previous extent's key, so a keymap
never silently carries a wrong key; the sweep/patch key-fetch recovery
fails loud when a unit is still unresolved after the retry.
AACS: reject inverted forensic segments in both range builders; compare
the forensic index in u16 space so an out-of-range value can't truncate
onto a valid u8 index. RECOVERED_ERROR no longer latches the damage zone,
preserving the 30s wedge cooldown for a following hard error.
audio: AAC/MP2/MP3/FLAC carry the last PTS across a PES with no timestamp;
the DTS-HD extension-sync search is bounded to after the core; the MP4
16.16 sample-rate field saturates. demux_sink records the video reference
before the kind filter so audio:// / sub:// keep multi-clip PTS continuity
and the DELAY tag.
Remove a dead error variant and the AACS-unsupported-video code; codec
comments cite the primary format specs; assorted doc/naming fixes and
regression tests throughout.
FMTS (AACS 2.1) now decodes per (LBA, phase): Phase enum + AacsKeyMap::
from_ranges_phased, decrypt only the variant's parity half. resolve_fmts_key_map
does a 2-phase index-1 anchor then per-index phase probe, and sizes the forensic
set to whatever the source returns (no hardcoded 32). KeyFetch is now two explicit
operations (unit_keys / fmts_indexes) and KeySource splits get_uk into
get_unit_keys + get_fmts_indexes. BYPASS_FMTS_KEY gate removed (first-class format).
Teed up for 1.4.5. Local WIP baseline.
The keyserver protocol now returns all 32 index keys as an array for a
forensic content sample (and a single-element array for plain content).
resolve_fmts_key_map sends one forensic batch and maps array element i to
segment index i+1, replacing the per-index blind-probe collection loop
that repeatedly hit the key service. Segment/index parsing and the
aligned-unit content classification are reworked to support this:
- rename variant_select -> index_select (per-index, not per-variant)
- content classification moves to is_clean(buf, ContentFormat) so the
unit selector emits only units the key service accepts
- segment.rs: parse IndividualSegment.tbl index tags + SPN ranges,
build contiguous LBA key ranges from the resolved 32-key array
- decrypt/decorator plumbing for the resolved per-index keys
Fail loud (FmtsKeyMissing) when the forensic query returns < 32 keys or
any segment index stays unresolved.
decrypt:
- decrypt_sectors is now a pure decrypt (apply key, leave plaintext, report
unverified bytes); TS-structure is a separate primitive (is_clean_ts/ps) used
only for key selection and read-verify. The mux passes decrypted bytes through
(the demuxer drops non-conforming packets), ending the NULL-TS conceal loop and
the per-unit key-server refetch storm. Key-proof floor replaces the 75%
supermajority.
recovery:
- Removed the post-read decrypt-verify gate (verify.rs) that mis-aligned the
disc-absolute unit grid against clip-anchored AACS units and false-failed good
clips (e.g. Dunkirk's orphan-CPS clip). Bad sectors are marked by physical read
result; decryptability is proven at scan + mux time.
HD DVD (first-class AACS):
- Role-based candidate-list file sourcing so an HD DVD's /ANY!/ files
(MKBROM.AACS, VTKF000.AACS, CONTENT_CERT.AACS) are found with no disc-type
branch. parse_vtkf parses VTKF000.AACS into the same UnitKeyFile as a BD
Unit_Key_RO.inf, so the shared VUK unwrap applies unchanged. set_unit_base
clip-anchoring. Two decrypt-axis assumptions remain UNVERIFIED-HDDVD-DECRYPT
(no encrypted disc to test).
mux:
- MVC (Blu-ray 3D) track signals unified into one MVCDecoderConfigurationRecord;
release-safe track_vint (3-byte VINT) and pid_index (i32) guards.
hardening:
- Container-aware is_clean / encryption detection; bytes_bad_in_title fail-safe
on a corrupt mapfile; CSS crack gated on DiscFormat::Dvd (HD DVD excluded);
non-vacuous CSS tests; patch NOT_READY/HARDWARE/ILLEGAL_REQUEST/ABORTED
sense-path tests.
Add UnitKey.variant_number (0 = ordinary, 1..32 = forensic variant) with new/variant constructors, and aacs::variant_select — resolve a disc's single variant and classify each aligned unit (default / variant / drop foreign / conceal keyless). Correct IndividualSegment.tbl: the per-record field is the variant (cycles 1..32 on a retail disc), not a segment number — Segment.number -> Segment.variant.
Relicensed from AGPL-3.0 to MIT, effective 1.3.1 (<=1.3.0 remain AGPL). The CSS
content cipher and Stevenson title-key attack are attributed to their published
cryptanalysis (not libdvdcss); all libaacs/libbluray/libdvdread/libdvdnav name
references were dropped from comments while keeping the standard format/spec
descriptions. Also bumps to 1.3.1.
- aacs/resolve: a media-keys-only provider missing the VID classifies as
VidUnavailable, not NoMaterial (an MK derives the VUK once the VID
arrives).
- disc/bluray: mark a clip seen only after its .clpi parses, so a
transient parse failure on the first PlayItem cannot suppress the
clip's extents for a later PlayItem referencing it that succeeds.
- disc/patch: log rather than swallow mapfile record/flush failures on a
reverify downgrade, so a failed persist cannot silently mismark a bad
unit good on resume.
- mux/ts: flag a discontinuity when a partial PES is dropped, matching
the other partial-drop paths.
- mux/demux_thread: the no-demuxer branch forwards an empty batch for
early consumer-disconnect detection instead of reading the whole disc.
- io/pipeline: correct the send-timing log (as_secs_f64, not as_micros
printed as ms).
- aacs/derive, aacs/variant, disc/read_error, keysource: comment/doc
accuracy. sector/prefetched, udf: remove dead fields/functions.
- mux/disc: assert unit-aligned read counts in the test.
Add DiscFormat::Fmts (AACS 2.1) and DiscFormat::HdDvd as first-class peers. Format derives from the AACS MKB generation (mkb_type().generation(): V10=BD, V20=UHD, V21=FMTS), reusing existing AACS code, and from the on-disc tree for HD-DVD/DVD. One detector (detect_disc_format) shared by the coarse DiscId probe and the full scan — no more 'default BluRay, defer to full scan'.
FMTS is a BD-tree stream variant: parse_playlist resolves the clip stream via CLIP_STREAM_EXTS (.m2ts -> .fmts -> .ssif), so the .fmts main feature yields real extents (previously silently empty). HD-DVD is a tree-level peer with its own enumerator (disc/hddvd.rs): HVDVD_TS/*.evo -> MpegPs titles with real extents (playlist/stream parsing honestly stubbed).
Sample selection for key resolution now uses the authoritative AACS CPI flag (aacs_unit_encrypted, byte-0 & 0xC0) not the ts_sync_destroyed heuristic — container-agnostic (M2TS/FMTS/EVO; TS-sync is meaningless on HD-DVD program streams) and stops the decode-server '0 encrypted units' rejection.
Tests live with each format (bluray/hddvd/mod); generic UDF fixture builders extracted to a shared udf::fixture module.
aacs::boil was a thin newtype veneer over aacs::derive — a duplicate layer.
Delete it: move the shared key newtypes (Vid, MediaKey, Vuk, ProcessingKey,
UnitKey) into aacs::types, and expose resolve_candidate + KeyCandidate from
aacs::derive directly. Downstream (keysource, disc::encrypt) now import from
aacs::{derive,types}. Pure API consolidation, no behaviour change; full test
suite green on Rust 1.86.
- One workspace hex parser (libfreemkv::hex): the keydb / online / mapfile
parsers had divergent prefix handling (0x vs 0X vs none) — a key written with
a prefix one parser didn't expect was silently dropped. All three now call it.
- read_encrypted_units probes several points spread across each extent instead
of only the midpoint-forward window, so a late-starting / sparse encrypted
body still yields samples (empty samples make decrypt_with skip wrong-key
validation). A read error at one probe no longer abandons the extent.
- read_aacs_inputs* now returns the AACS major version; DiscInputs carries it,
and DiscInputsCtx parses Unit_Key_RO.inf at the disc's own stride (fixes the
hardcoded-V20 read-time fetch for V10 discs). One source of truth, no version
argument to drift.
- Disc::inputs() is the single complete AACS-input source (inf/MKB/VID/hash/
version); the out-of-band duplicate readers go away.
- Named constants for AACS file paths (aacs::PATH_*) and the AACS majors
(aacs::AACS_MAJOR_*, AacsVersion::major/from_major) replace magic strings/ints.
- push_ranges saturating (corrupt-disc panic guard).
Post-read verify gate (new src/disc/verify.rs): UnitVerifier buffers/aligns the disc-absolute read stream into clip-file 6144-byte units, then makes one decryptability() decision per unit (CPI gate -> held keys -> key_fetch -> strict TS). POST_READ_VERIFY const kill-switch; fail-safe contract (only ever downgrades units it is confident are undecryptable; every doubt skips). Hooked into Disc::sweep (producer observes ciphertext -> WorkItem::MarkBad after the Good, FIFO-ordered) and Disc::patch (post-loop reverify_iso reads recovered units whole from the patched ISO). extract::clip_layouts enumerates AACS clips for the gate.
Standards-correct AACS verify: aacs::unit_is_clean_ts is a strict port of libaacs _verify_ts (all 32 TS syncs, not a majority vote); decrypt_unit accepts a key only on it; the majority verify_ts is removed. Deleted the Disc::verify_clips post-pass bolt-on (its primitive is absorbed by the read-path gate).
libaacs/DVD audit fixes: content-cert bus_encryption flag now read from bit 7 (was bit 0 - defeated the bus-key fail-loud gate); cc_id read from offset 14; title_cps_unit range-validated + 1->0 index-converted per libaacs. Corrected attack_crib ("functionally-equivalent" not "exact" port) and read_disc_key (READ DVD STRUCTURE 0xAD, not REPORT KEY) doc comments.
Also includes accumulated uncommitted work: key-fetch seam and TrueHD/DTS audio fix.
The AACS unit-alignment gate measured `lba % 3` against absolute disc LBA 0,
but aligned units are anchored at each clip's encrypted-region start. A clip
whose start_lba is not 3-aligned had its readable units wrongly rejected with
"Decryption failed" (the big-title-only failure on some Blu-rays). One
canonical clip-anchored helper (`aacs::is_unit_aligned`) is now the single
source of truth for the decrypt-on-read gate; both mux read paths set the
per-extent `unit_base = start_lba` via a new `SectorSource::set_unit_base`.
Also moves key *mechanism* into the library: the encrypted sample reader
(`read_encrypted_units`) and the candidate-key resolution loop
(`resolve_and_apply`) now live here, so a key source is purely a lookup.
Regression test covers a clip based at a non-3-aligned LBA.
Fix three DVD video-attribute bugs surfaced by a PAL disc detected as
NTSC:
- PAL/NTSC: parse video_format from VTS_V_ATR bits 5-4, not bits 1-0
(the old mask read permitted_df, so PAL 576i/25fps was mis-detected
as NTSC 480i/29.97). Named consts replace the magic bit positions.
- Anamorphic aspect: write MKV DisplayWidth/Height from the disc's
display_aspect (16:9 720x576 -> 1024x576) instead of square pixels,
so 16:9 DVDs no longer render as 4:3.
- Colour: stamp SD colorimetry (PAL=BT.470BG, NTSC=SMPTE-170M) instead
of BT.709 (HD).
Adds VideoStream.display_aspect (threaded through every muxer) plus
TvSystem/DvdAspect/ColorSpace plumbing, with regression tests. Removes
the deprecated Disc mux set_halt bridge (use with_halt).
Complete the OEM/AACS cert baseline so host certs are a KeySource output,
never compiled in. With an unlocker present the OEM route is unused
(unlocker_read_volume_id short-circuits); without one, the cert handshake
runs when a keysource supplies a host cert and fails gracefully when none
does.
- KeySource trait gains host_certs() (default empty), reusing the existing
aacs::HostCert type. A source holds certs as its second kind of AACS
material alongside decryption keys.
- ScanOptions gains key_sources so the handshake can collect certs across
the app's keysource layer, unioned with DriveCredentials.
- do_handshake_cert collects certs via collect_host_certs (credentials +
every key source). Zero certs from any source now returns the new
graceful Error::AacsNoHostCert (code 7024, sentinel <no host cert>)
instead of silently skipping; resolution still falls back to the
path-1 disc-hash -> VUK lookup, which drops the error on a hit.
- error.rs: add E_AACS_NO_HOST_CERT / Error::AacsNoHostCert, wired into
code(), Display, and the round-trip + sentinel tests.
HandshakeResult { volume_id, read_data_key } unchanged: the cert path
still yields both the VID and the bus key.
Test-hardening release, no runtime changes. Adds spec-grounded unit tests
across the silent-corruption surfaces — UDF/MPLS/CLPI/IFO parsing, BD/DVD
title + extent assembly, AACS/CSS key handling, TS/PS demux + codec parsers,
MKV/EBML container output, the mux pipeline, sector prefetch + decrypt
decorator, drive/SCSI sense decoding, label extraction, and core I/O. Each
test is grounded in the format spec or real on-disc behavior and verified to
fail under a targeted source mutation. No behavior changed.
Add a precommit fixture proving Disc::read_aacs_inputs reads a Long-AD,
multi-extent /AACS/Unit_Key_RO.inf in full — the exact input the online
key-request path depends on (no disc/deploy needed). Make
read_aacs_inputs_from_reader pub(crate) for the test.
Reword internal comments/doc examples to generic descriptions instead of
specific media titles.
Library-wide review-and-fix pass: tightened AACS keydb/handshake/variant
handling and trailing-partial-unit policy, corrected MPLS mark offset and
added UDF allocation bounds, hardened the mux/codec framing and M2TS paths,
guarded SCSI READ CAPACITY short transfers and unified error mapping, added
overflow guards on untrusted disc input, and made prefetch shutdown
deterministic. Release profile now builds with thin LTO + single codegen unit.
Add `DiscInputs.volume_label: Option<String>` — the disc's human title (UDF/ISO
volume identifier, else BDMV <di:name>), populated by Disc::inputs() from the
scan. Identity only, no secret, not used in any AACS derivation; lets a key
source forward the title so a key service can catalog disc_hash → title.
decrypt_with now takes the disc's encrypted content samples and, after
deriving the candidate unit keys, confirms at least one de-scrambles a real
aligned unit before committing them. A wrong key (a keydb VK that doesn't
match the disc, a stale UK) is rejected with AacsKeyRejected instead of
silently applying garbage unit keys. Conservative by design: with no samples
(resume / mapfile cache) it accepts as before, leaving those paths unchanged.
The KeySource trait becomes a stateful provider — next_key hands one candidate
at a time (the source owns the order) and reports exhaustion, replacing the
all-at-once resolve; errored() distinguishes a failed source from a clean
no-key.
A source that validates server-side against ciphertext (an online key service)
needs encrypted content samples; one that keys on disc identity (keydb, mapfile)
does not. needs_samples() lets the caller skip the extra disc read unless a
configured source actually needs it. Defaults false.
An online key service validates a candidate against real ciphertext, so it
needs a few encrypted content sample units. Add a samples field to DiscInputs;
Disc::inputs() leaves it empty (reading content needs the disc reader, which
scan does not retain) for the application to fill.
The library now describes the key-source abstraction it consumes, while the
concrete sources live in a companion crate. A KeySource looks a disc up from
its DiscInputs (disc hash, volume id, MKB, Unit_Key_RO.inf) and returns a Key;
the library derives down and decrypts. Sources do no derivation.
Disc::inputs() exposes those inputs from a scanned disc.
Key::Media now carries a Vec of candidate media keys rather than one: a media
key is MKB-scoped, so a source hands its whole pool and the library picks the
one that verifies against the disc's MKB. That mirrors Device/Processing and
keeps key selection (a derivation step) inside the library.
