# UNDF: UNDF-2026-000000490
# openssl-0003: CWE-407 O(C×S) SRTP profile matching in tls_parse_ctos_use_srtp

## Severity: MEDIUM

## Location
`ssl/statem/extensions_srvr.c` — `tls_parse_ctos_use_srtp()`

## Description

`tls_parse_ctos_use_srtp()` selects the preferred SRTP protection profile
during DTLS extension negotiation. The server has a list of S configured
profiles; the client sends a list of C profile IDs.

The current implementation uses a nested loop:

```c
/* outer: iterate every client-offered profile id */
while (PACKET_remaining(&subpkt)) {
    PACKET_get_net_2(&subpkt, &id);           /* one client id */

    /* inner: linear scan over server profiles */
    for (i = 0; i < srtp_pref; i++) {
        SRTP_PROTECTION_PROFILE *sprof =
            sk_SRTP_PROTECTION_PROFILE_value(srvr, i);
        if (sprof->id == id) {
            s->srtp_profile = sprof;
            srtp_pref = i;          /* shrink inner bound on hit */
            break;
        }
    }
}
```

Total comparisons: O(C × S). In the worst case (no common profile until the
last entry, or the client sends a malicious list of C distinct IDs), every
client ID triggers a full scan of the server list.

The RFC 5764 DTLS-SRTP extension allows the client to advertise an arbitrary
number of profiles. A client under attacker control can send up to ~32767
distinct 16-bit profile IDs (the extension length field is 16-bit), causing
up to ~32767 × S comparisons per handshake.

## Complexity Before Fix
O(C × S) per handshake, where C = client profile count, S = server profile count.

## Fix

Build a bitmask (or small hash set) of server profile IDs before the loop.
Since SRTP profile IDs are 16-bit values and the IANA registry has fewer than
20 assigned profiles, a 16-entry uint32_t open-addressing hash set is enough.
Lookup becomes O(1) expected; total becomes O(C + S).

## Overhead Removed

Per handshake, O(C × S) comparisons → O(C + S). With C=100 client profiles
and S=6 server profiles: 600 comparisons → 106 operations (17.6× speedup at
these sizes; grows without bound as C increases).
