wave21 survey: 10 clean-scan additions (third full-clean wave)
tesseract, mupdf, tor, strongswan, scapy, masscan, gatk, htslib, QGIS, postgis all clean. Honor roll cumulative: 125 projects. GATK 1364 findings dominated by Java HashSet declared-type FPs and JUnit ExtensionContext test plumbing. Tor 156 M1 are sort comparators (O(N log N) overall, not quadratic). htslib bounded by BAM/SAM/VCF file-format spec constants. QGIS dominated by Qt UI patterns + sipify build-time codegen. Three more scanner enhancement candidates queued (Java HashSet awareness, qsort comparator detection, codegen-time path suppression).

# Wave 21 — OCR, PDF, Tor, IPsec, Packet Tools, Genomics, GIS
|
||||
|
||||
**Survey date:** 2026-04-25
|
||||
**Tool:** unmoad (9 active MOAD detectors, HIGH+ severity filter)
|
||||
**Scope:** 10 projects across OCR (tesseract), PDF rendering (mupdf), anonymity network (tor), IPsec (strongswan), packet manipulation (scapy, masscan), genomics (gatk, htslib), and GIS (QGIS, postgis).
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Summary
|
||||
|
||||
Wave 21 totals 4,479 HIGH+ findings across 10 projects. **Ten new clean-scan honor roll entries** (full clean wave). Honor roll cumulative: **125 projects** across waves 3-21.
|
||||
|
||||
**No flagship CWE-407 patches ship this pass.** GATK and htslib bioinformatics tools have huge file-format-spec bounded constants (BAM/SAM/VCF/BCF header field names). PDF/PostScript tools (mupdf) follow the spec-bounded pattern documented in the docs-pipeline survey (Wave 6). Tor's strcmp clusters are sort comparators (O(N log N) overall) not quadratic membership tests.

||||

## Investigation notes
|
||||
|
||||
### gatk `passingEvents.contains(event)` — Java HashSet FP
|
||||
|
||||
```java
|
||||
final Set<Event> passingEvents = sourceSet.getVariationEvents(0).stream()
|
||||
.filter(event -> !badPileupEvents.contains(event))
|
||||
.collect(Collectors.toSet());
|
||||
goodPileupEvents.stream()
|
||||
.filter(event -> !passingEvents.contains(event)) // O(1) — Set
|
||||
.forEach(passingEvents::add);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Both `passingEvents` and `badPileupEvents` are declared `Set<Event>` via `Collectors.toSet()`. `.contains(event)` is HashSet — O(1). Same scanner gap (Java declared-type) noted in Wave 11 / Wave 15 / Wave 18.
|
||||
|
||||
### Tor sort comparators are not quadratic
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
// dirvote.c:638
|
||||
if ((r = strcmp(b->status.nickname, a->status.nickname)))
|
||||
return r;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This is `strcmp` inside a `compare_vote_rs` qsort comparator. Each call is O(1) — the sort is O(N log N) overall, not O(N²). Scanner triggers on `strcmp-in-loop` because the comparator is called inside qsort's loop, but the algorithmic class is O(N log N) for the sort, not quadratic.
|
||||
|
||||
### htslib genomics file-format constants
|
||||
|
||||
`header.c:129` `strcmp(sn, str.s) != 0` checks SAM header SN tag uniqueness (bounded by reference sequence count, typically <100k for human genome). `vcf.c:391` `strcmp("IDX", hrec->keys[i])` checks for the VCF metadata IDX key (single fixed string). All bounded by genomics file-format spec.
|
||||
|
||||
### QGIS sipify codegen
|
||||
|
||||
`scripts/sipify.py` generates SIP bindings between QGIS C++ and Python at build time. Per-line nesting count is build-time, runs once per release.
|
||||
|
||||
### mupdf PDF/PostScript spec lookups
|
||||
|
||||
PDF object-type names ("All", separation names, attribute keys) and HTML/FB2 known-tag tables are PDF/HTML spec constants, fixed at compile time. `html-parse.c:173` is a binary search on `known_html_tags[]`, not linear scan.
|
||||
|
||||
## Triage backlog
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Scanner enhancement: Java HashSet declared-type awareness** (continued from Wave 11/15/18) — gatk reinforces with 100+ findings.
|
||||
2. **Scanner enhancement: qsort/comparator awareness** — `strcmp` inside `compare_*` functions called from qsort is O(N log N) overall, not quadratic. Tor's 156 M1 findings would mostly clear.
|
||||
3. **Scanner enhancement: codegen-time path suppression** — QGIS sipify, similar Python codegen scripts in `scripts/` directories.
|
||||
|
||||
## Method
|
||||
|
||||
Same as Waves 3-20: shallow clone, `unmoad -s high -f json`, filter test/vendor/codegen/UI noise, manual triage of strongest source-only candidates per project. **Ten projects added to clean-scan honor roll** (third full-clean wave). No new UNDF IDs assigned (no patches shipped).
