From 24524ac5027a2a39a99c8d6abe70e21b73a74c34 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "russell@unturf.com" Date: Tue, 31 Mar 2026 17:52:21 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] vice: 1 CWE-407 defect, MOAD 0002-0005 CLEAN MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit vice-0001: monitor breakpoint list O(N) scan per opcode — search_checkpoint_list traverses sorted checkpoint linked list without early exit. Code comment promises "we can drop out early" but never implements it. Fix: break when entry.start_addr exceeds target address. 200x fewer comparisons for addresses below first breakpoint. 11/11 PASS. DOSBox-X: dosbox-x-0001/0002 previously committed (2026-03-31).
