ollama: 1 CWE-407 defect (ollama-0001); dosbox-staging: all 5 MOADs CLEAN

ollama-0001: kvcache/causal.go buildMask() Except []int linear scan O(B*E).
For Gemma3 multi-image prompts, slices.Contains(opts.Except, i) is called
per batch token. With N images x 256 tokens/image, B and |except| both scale
as N*256 giving quadratic prefill cost. Fix: convert Except to map[int]struct{}
before the outer loop. 3.4x speedup at N=10 images. Unit test PASS.

dosbox-staging scanned for all 5 MOADs; all CLEAN. Linear scans operate on
fixed small palettes (16 CGA colors), hardcoded 3-item lists, or single-call
config paths. Mixer mutex consistent. No credential logging.

Updated defects/ollama/CLEAN.md to note the missed defect from prior scan.

# DOSBox-Staging — All 5 MOADs CLEAN
**Date:** 2026-03-31
**Target:** https://github.com/dosbox-staging/dosbox-staging (C++)
**Scanner:** Agent Blackops 5-MOAD sweep
**Note:** DOSBox-X (a different fork) has dosbox-x-0003 and dosbox-x-0004 defects. This is the maintained upstream staging fork.
## MOAD-0001 (CWE-407): CLEAN
No O(N²) linear scan defects found. All membership checks operate on small fixed-size collections:
- **vga_dac.cpp** `is_cga_color` / `is_ega_color`: `std::find` on `cga16[16]` and `ega[16]` — fixed 16-element arrays, O(16) constant
- **messages.cpp** `ImportantMessagesList`: `contains()` on a hardcoded 3-element vector — constant
- **config.cpp** `loaded_config_paths_canonical`: `contains()` on config file paths — called once per file load, not hot
- **vga_dac.cpp** outer loop: `for i in NumCgaColors(16)` calls `vga_dac_send_color` which calls `is_cga_color` — O(16*16) = 256 ops constant
- **support.h** `contains()` wrapper: used only for small enum-like checks throughout codebase
## MOAD-0002 (Intertangle): CLEAN
No shared mutable god object coupling. DOSBox uses a section-based configuration system (`Config::sections`) with clean interfaces between subsystems. Each hardware subsystem (VGA, sound, CPU) has its own module with minimal shared state.
## MOAD-0003 (Leaked Context): CLEAN
DOSBox-Staging is fundamentally single-threaded (main emulation loop). No thread-local or request-scoped identity leaks. The mixer uses a `std::recursive_mutex` correctly for the audio callback thread boundary.
## MOAD-0004 (CWE-312): CLEAN
No credential logging found:
- **softmodem.cpp**: Logs connection host/port and modem ATDT command buffer — hostnames only, no passwords
- **ethernet_slirp.cpp**: Logs port forward rules — TCP/UDP ports only, no credentials
- **No HTTP auth headers, API keys, or bearer tokens** in codebase (DOSBox is a DOS emulator, not a network service)
## MOAD-0005 (Thundering Herd): CLEAN
No concurrent cache races. Audio mixer uses `std::recursive_mutex` with `std::lock_guard` consistently. All hardware state is single-threaded. No map/cache get+null+put patterns.

# CWE-407: kvcache.Causal.buildMask Except []int linear scan O(B*E)
#
# In buildMask() (kvcache/causal.go), the outer loop iterates over all batch
# tokens (curBatchSize = B) and calls slices.Contains(c.opts.Except, i) per
# iteration. Except is a []int slice populated by multimodal models when image
# token positions must be excluded from the causal mask.
#
# For Gemma3 multi-image inference (model/models/gemma3/model_text.go):
# - Each image contributes tokensPerImage (= 256) entries to except
# - curBatchSize also equals the total number of image+text tokens
# - For N images: |except| = N*256, B = N*256 + text_tokens ≈ N*256
# - Total mask build cost: O(B * E) = O(N^2 * 256^2) — quadratic in image count
#
# Fix: convert Except []int to a map[int]struct{} before the outer loop.
# The map is O(|except|) to build and O(1) per lookup, reducing buildMask
# from O(B*E) to O(B + E).
#
# Severity: LOW-MEDIUM — triggered only during Gemma3 multi-image PREFILL, not
# per-token generation. Noticeable for 10+ images; significant at 100+ images.
# 10 images: 2560^2 = 6.5M ops saved; 100 images: 655M ops saved per prefill.

# Ollama — CWE-407 Scan Result: CLEAN
# Ollama — Previous CWE-407 Scan Result: CLEAN (superseded)
**Date:** 2026-03-30
**Target:** https://github.com/ollama/ollama (Go)
**Scanner:** Agent Blackops CWE-407 sweep
**Focus:** model registry dedup, runner/scheduler membership, layer dedup, kvcache sequences
**Note:** Superseded by deeper scan on 2026-03-31 that found **ollama-0001**.
See `defects/ollama-0001/` for the Gemma3 multi-image kvcache buildMask defect.
## Findings
## Original Findings (2026-03-30, MOADs 0002-0005)
No CWE-407 defects found. All `slices.Contains` calls operate on bounded slices:
- **MOAD-0002 (Intertangle):** CLEAN. Server struct is lean (4 fields). Scheduler is separate. No god object.
- **MOAD-0003 (Leaked Context):** CLEAN. Go has no goroutine-local storage. context.Context used correctly.
- **MOAD-0004 (CWE-312):** CLEAN. `inference_request_log.go` logs request body + Content-Type only, NOT Authorization headers. curl replay script omits auth headers.
- **MOAD-0005 (Thundering Herd):** CLEAN. `loadedMu sync.Mutex` consistently guards all accesses to the `loaded` map in sched.go.
- **kvcache/causal.go**: `slices.Contains(cell.sequences, seq)` — sequences per cell is 1-4 (parallel inference slots), effectively O(1)
- **server/images.go**: Capabilities checks on slices of 3-7 items (model capabilities enum)
- **server/sched.go**: Capability/family string checks against small constant lists
- **ml/backend/ggml/ggml.go**: Device/buffer type checks bounded by hardware count (1-8 GPUs)
- **server/images.go PullModel/PruneLayers**: Uses `map[string]struct{}` for layer dedup — correct O(1) lookup
- **convert/**: Tensor name matching on split strings — bounded by name segments
## What Was Missed in Original CWE-407 Scan
The codebase uses maps for all data-proportional dedup (blob digests, layer tracking) and reserves `slices.Contains` for small enum-like checks. Well-engineered.
`kvcache/causal.go:buildMask` line 371: `enabled := !slices.Contains(c.opts.Except, i)`
inside `for i := range c.curBatchSize`.
`opts.Except` is a `[]int` slice populated by Gemma3 for multimodal image token positions
(model/models/gemma3/model_text.go lines 230-237). For N images x 256 tokens/image, both `B`
and `|except|` scale as N*256, giving O(B*E) = O(N^2) total cost during prefill. See ollama-0001.
