Matthew Jackson 8b8bcff106 test: pin five untrusted-input guards in the AACS 2.1 and CSS paths
Second pass over src/aacs and src/css. No production change; the only
non-test edits are two fixture bytes and one test rename.

Five latent panics on untrusted data, every guard correct and none
tested — so each was free to be deleted:

  variant.rs:224  a 0x04 record not a multiple of 5 indexes p_uv[0..4]
                  off a one-byte tail
  variant.rs:269  a 0x0c record shorter than the 0x04 slot count
                  slices past the cvalue table
  stevenson.rs:177  short sector read -> index 138 into a 129-byte slice
  stevenson.rs:208  a crib longer than the 1920-byte encrypted region
                    -> index 2058 into 2048
  stevenson.rs:272  a header periodic all the way to offset 0 ->
                    subtract with overflow

That last one is reachable from ORDINARY DVD data — constant or padding
bytes are periodic. Verified on HEAD: widening the guard to <= 0x80
passes all 64 css tests unmutated.

media_key_variant_from_kp had only a soft-correction test, so every
step past that early return was unexecuted. The new two-slot fixture
puts the covering slot at index 1, so the uvs[1 + 5*idx] and
cvalues[idx*16] strides stop multiplying by zero.

derive.rs:319 + -> - confirmed killable, as the first pass predicted:
p == 0 makes (p-1)..32 underflow. Every prior fixture used a uv whose
lowest set bit was 4, 10 or 11, so trailing_zeros() was never 0.

One fixture bug caught and fixed rather than papered over: a |= mutant
first SURVIVED because mk[14]'s 0x04 bit happened to be set, making OR
and XOR agree. The byte is now clear and an assert_eq! pins it, so the
fixture cannot drift back into agreeing with the mutation it exists to
catch.

walk_mkb_be24_high_byte_is_honored renamed to
walk_mkb_be24_middle_byte_is_honored. Its 0x00_0110 length exercises
the << 8 term only, which is why << 16 -> >> 16 survived it. The name
was the lie; both framings are worth having, and the comment now points
at the genuine high-byte test at 0x01_0004.

derive.rs 146:32 and 154:30 stay untested, now with a proof rather than
a judgement: bit_pos == -1 requires current_v_mask == 0xFFFF_FFFF, and
calc_v_mask can never return that — its loop condition holds at
!v_mask == 0, so it always shifts at least once. Both branches are
reachable only after the walk has gone non-convergent and is heading
for the bounded exit, where the return value is undefined. Termination
is already pinned.

Equivalents proven by observing green, including six more OR/XOR pairs
on provably disjoint bit fields, and the two KEY_CORRECTION_DATA sites
where the constant is the documented all-zero placeholder so x ^ 0 ==
x | 0. Those become killable only if a real per-licensee KCD is wired
in.

A partial confirmation sweep (138 of 415 mutants before the box
saturated) found 135 caught, one timeout that is itself a detection,
and exactly one survivor — the KEY_CORRECTION_DATA equivalent above.

//! CSS title-key recovery — Frank A. Stevenson's divide-and-conquer attack
//! (1999), implemented from his published cryptanalysis ("Cryptanalysis of
//! Contents Scrambling System"). It recovers the 5-byte CSS title key from a
//! single scrambled DVD sector with no player keys and no disc-key crack, using
//! only known plaintext. Implemented from that public description; nothing here
//! is copied or translated from any particular CSS software.
//!
//! # The cipher this attacks
//!
//! The content descrambler ([`super::lfsr::descramble_sector`]) seeds its two
//! LFSRs **directly** from `key = title_key XOR sector_seed` (seed =
//! `sector[0x54..0x59]`): LFSR1 from key/seed bytes 0-1, LFSR0 (24-bit) from
//! bytes 2-4 with the pre-conditioning `r0 = r0*2 + 8 - (r0 & 7)`, and each body
//! byte recovered as `plain = TAB1[cipher] ^ (keystream & 0xff)`. There is no
//! title-key mangling on the content path, so the recovery is a single inversion
//! of the sector cipher.
//!
//! # The attack
//!
//! 1. **Known plaintext → keystream.** Because descramble applies TAB1 to the
//! ciphertext, the per-byte keystream is `TAB1[cipher[i]] ^ plain[i]`.
//! 2. **Brute the 16-bit LFSR1 seed.** For each of 2^16 seeds, run LFSR1
//! forward; for the first four steps deduce the LFSR0 output bytes from the
//! keystream (carry-tracked), reconstructing LFSR0's state. For the next six
//! steps clock LFSR0 normally and check it reproduces the keystream — a wrong
//! LFSR1 seed fails fast.
//! 3. **Back-clock LFSR0.** Run four backward steps (each a 256-way search for
//! the byte shifted in) to reach the initial state, then undo the
//! `r0*2 + 8 - (r0 & 7)` pre-conditioning to recover key[2..5].
//! 4. **XOR back the seed.** `key[0..5] ^= sector_seed[0..5]`.
//!
//! Known plaintext for step 1 comes from the longest periodic run in the
//! cleartext `sec[0x00..0x80]`, assumed to continue into the encrypted region at
//! 0x80.
