From 1ec3a041aaaa5a8fadad97b7d607b5fcdf34b91d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "russell@unturf.com" Date: Tue, 31 Mar 2026 19:31:58 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] retroarch, openemu: 2 CWE-407 defects, MOADs 0002-0005 CLEAN retroarch-0002: core_info_database_supports_content_path O(C*(E+D)) per file in ROM scanner, 193x speedup at C=100 cores; fix: ext->database hash map built at core list init, O(1) lookups replace full core-list scan. openemu-0001: SetupAssistant knownCores Array.contains O(N^2) core dedup, 17x op-count at N=35 cores; fix: Set for O(1) .contains. MOADs 0002-0005 for both targets: RetroArch runloop is single-threaded by design (no leaked context); no credential logging found (CHEEVOS_LOG_PASSWORD guarded and undef'd by default); no unguarded cache thundering herd. OpenEmu: no ThreadLocal patterns; no credential logging; NSCache is thread-safe and duplicate fetch work is bounded. --- ...tup-assistant-knownCores-linear-scan.patch | 41 ++++ .../openemu-0001/test/test_openemu_0001.py | 179 ++++++++++++++++ ...e-info-database-supports-linear-scan.patch | 86 ++++++++ .../test/test_retroarch_0002.py | 191 ++++++++++++++++++ 4 files changed, 497 insertions(+) create mode 100644 defects/openemu-0001/patch/openemu-0001-setup-assistant-knownCores-linear-scan.patch create mode 100644 defects/openemu-0001/test/test_openemu_0001.py create mode 100644 defects/retroarch-0002/patch/retroarch-0002-core-info-database-supports-linear-scan.patch create mode 100644 defects/retroarch-0002/test/test_retroarch_0002.py diff --git a/defects/openemu-0001/patch/openemu-0001-setup-assistant-knownCores-linear-scan.patch b/defects/openemu-0001/patch/openemu-0001-setup-assistant-knownCores-linear-scan.patch new file mode 100644 index 000000000..b01dedcd0 --- /dev/null +++ b/defects/openemu-0001/patch/openemu-0001-setup-assistant-knownCores-linear-scan.patch @@ -0,0 +1,41 @@ +# UNDF: UNDF-2026-000001058 +# OpenEmu openemu-0001: SetupAssistant knownCores Array.contains O(N^2) in core dedup loop +# +# SetupAssistant.swift performs initial core list population on the transition +# from .videoIntro to .welcome state.
