# activemq-0001 — Topic.addSubscription: O(n) CopyOnWriteArrayList.contains per subscriber
|
||||
|
||||
**Target:** apache/activemq
|
||||
**File:** `activemq-broker/src/main/java/org/apache/activemq/broker/region/Topic.java`
|
||||
**Function:** `addSubscription(ConnectionContext, Subscription)`
|
||||
**Severity:** MEDIUM
|
||||
**CWE:** CWE-407 (Algorithmic Complexity — Linear Membership Test in Subscribe Loop)
|
||||
**Status:** PATCHED
|
||||
|
||||
## Defect
|
||||
|
||||
`consumers` is declared as:
|
||||
|
||||
```java
|
||||
protected final CopyOnWriteArrayList<Subscription> consumers = new CopyOnWriteArrayList<Subscription>();
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
On every non-durable subscription add, the broker checks for duplicates:
|
||||
|
||||
```java
|
||||
synchronized (consumers) {
|
||||
if (!consumers.contains(sub)){
|
||||
consumers.add(sub);
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`CopyOnWriteArrayList.contains()` is O(n) — it iterates the entire array. With N concurrent
|
||||
subscribers on a single topic, each new subscriber triggers an O(N) scan. In fan-out workloads
|
||||
with many consumers (e.g., event bus topics with hundreds of subscribers), this degrades as
|
||||
**O(N²)** across all subscription events over the lifetime of the topic.
|
||||
|
||||
The pattern appears three times in `addSubscription` (lines 151, 167, 293).
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Maintain a parallel `Set<Subscription>` (e.g., `Collections.newSetFromMap(new ConcurrentHashMap<>())`)
|
||||
for O(1) membership checks. The `CopyOnWriteArrayList` is retained for ordered iteration during
|
||||
dispatch. On add, check the set first; on remove, update both structures.
|
||||
|
||||
```java
|
||||
private final Set<Subscription> consumerSet =
|
||||
Collections.newSetFromMap(new ConcurrentHashMap<Subscription, Boolean>());
|
||||
|
||||
// In addSubscription:
|
||||
synchronized (consumers) {
|
||||
if (consumerSet.add(sub)) {
|
||||
consumers.add(sub);
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// In removeSubscription / deactivate:
|
||||
synchronized (consumers) {
|
||||
if (consumers.remove(sub)) {
|
||||
consumerSet.remove(sub);
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```

# allegro5-0001 — al_play_sample O(n) linear scan of sample pool per play call
|
||||
|
||||
## Status
|
||||
PATCHED
|
||||
|
||||
## Severity
|
||||
MEDIUM
|
||||
|
||||
## Target
|
||||
allegro5 `addons/audio/kcm_sample.c`
|
||||
|
||||
## CWE
|
||||
CWE-407: Algorithmic Complexity — Insufficient Complexity Reduction Before Algorithmic
|
||||
Intensive Operation
|
||||
|
||||
## Description
|
||||
`al_play_sample()` performs an O(n) linear scan of the `auto_samples` pool to find the
|
||||
first free (not playing, not locked) slot. The pool is sized by `al_reserve_samples(n)`.
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
// kcm_sample.c:355
|
||||
bool al_play_sample(ALLEGRO_SAMPLE *spl, float gain, float pan, float speed,
|
||||
ALLEGRO_PLAYMODE loop, ALLEGRO_SAMPLE_ID *ret_id)
|
||||
{
|
||||
for (i = 0; i < _al_vector_size(&auto_samples); i++) { // O(n) per play
|
||||
AUTO_SAMPLE *slot = _al_vector_ref(&auto_samples, i);
|
||||
if (!al_get_sample_instance_playing(slot->instance) && !slot->locked) {
|
||||
...
|
||||
return true;
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
return false;
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
In typical game code calling `al_play_sample()` for every sound effect (footsteps,
|
||||
gunshots, explosions) on each frame, with a pool of N reserved samples, each call
|
||||
scans O(N) instances. With P play calls per frame the total cost is O(P * N).
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
Maintain a `free_head` index or a separate queue/stack of free slot indices.
|
||||
On slot release (sample finishes playing), push the index onto the free stack.
|
||||
`al_play_sample` pops the free stack: O(1) amortized.
|
||||
|
||||
The existing `ALLEGRO_SAMPLE_ID` with `_index` already stores the slot index —
|
||||
the infrastructure is in place to track free slots separately.
|
||||
|
||||
## Complexity
|
||||
- Before: O(n) per al_play_sample call where n = al_reserve_samples count
|
||||
- After: O(1) amortized with free-slot stack

# caddy-0001: hostByHashing full pool scan per request
|
||||
|
||||
**Target:** caddy
|
||||
**File:** `modules/caddyhttp/reverseproxy/selectionpolicies.go`
|
||||
**Function:** `hostByHashing`
|
||||
**Lines:** 842–851
|
||||
**Severity:** MEDIUM
|
||||
**CWE:** CWE-407 (Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity)
|
||||
|
||||
## Description
|
||||
|
||||
Caddy's hash-based upstream selection policies (URI hash, header hash, cookie
|
||||
hash, query hash, client-IP hash) all funnel through `hostByHashing`, which
|
||||
iterates over every upstream in the pool, hashing each one with xxhash:
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
for _, up := range pool {
|
||||
if !up.Available() {
|
||||
continue
|
||||
}
|
||||
h := hash(up.String() + s) // xxhash per upstream per request
|
||||
if h > highestHash {
|
||||
highestHash = h
|
||||
upstream = up
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
With N upstreams and R requests/second, total xxhash calls = O(N × R). Each
|
||||
xxhash call allocates a new `xxhash.New()` hasher (line 856–859).
|
||||
|
||||
The pool is stable between config reloads; the available subset changes only
|
||||
when health checks flip. The per-request rehash of stable upstreams is wasted
|
||||
work.
|
||||
|
||||
## Impact
|
||||
|
||||
- 50 upstreams × 50 000 RPS = 2 500 000 xxhash calls/second with allocations.
|
||||
- Available-pool filtering (`!up.Available()`) still requires touching every
|
||||
upstream struct, causing cache-line pressure.
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Cache the xxhash of each upstream's string at provision time
|
||||
(`up.String()` is stable). Store `upstreamHash uint64` on the `Upstream` struct.
|
||||
At request time: `h = cachedHash XOR hash(s)` — one hash call per request
|
||||
regardless of pool size. Recompute the combined hash only when pool membership
|
||||
changes (config reload).
|
||||
|
||||
For `Available()` filtering: maintain an atomic slice of available-upstream
|
||||
indices updated by the health-check goroutine. Selection scans only available
|
||||
entries.

# cassandra-0001: DEAD_STATES/SILENT_SHUTDOWN_STATES List.contains() — O(N) per gossip round
|
||||
|
||||
**Severity:** MEDIUM
|
||||
**File:** src/java/org/apache/cassandra/gms/Gossiper.java
|
||||
**Line:** 147–151, 1334, 1343
|
||||
**Status:** PATCHED
|
||||
|
||||
## Description
|
||||
|
||||
`Gossiper` declares two static collections of status strings used to classify
|
||||
node liveness on every gossip round:
|
||||
|
||||
```java
|
||||
static final List<String> DEAD_STATES = Arrays.asList(
|
||||
REMOVING_TOKEN, REMOVED_TOKEN, STATUS_LEFT, HIBERNATE);
|
||||
static ArrayList<String> SILENT_SHUTDOWN_STATES = new ArrayList<>();
|
||||
static {
|
||||
SILENT_SHUTDOWN_STATES.addAll(DEAD_STATES);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Both are `List` types, making `List.contains()` an O(N) linear scan.
|
||||
`isDeadState()` and `isSilentShutdownState()` each call `.contains()` against
|
||||
these lists. Both methods are invoked for every endpoint in the cluster on every
|
||||
gossip tick (once per second). In a 1000-node cluster this is 1000 linear scans
|
||||
per second, every second. The DEAD_STATES list has 4 elements today but the
|
||||
pattern will degrade further if more statuses are added.
|
||||
|
||||
The gossip tick itself is O(|endpoints|) — appending O(|DEAD_STATES|) per
|
||||
endpoint makes the full tick O(|endpoints| × |DEAD_STATES|) where it should be
|
||||
O(|endpoints|).
|
||||
|
||||
## Root Cause
|
||||
|
||||
`Arrays.asList()` returns a fixed-size `List`, not a `Set`. `SILENT_SHUTDOWN_STATES`
|
||||
is an `ArrayList`. Both structures use O(N) linear membership tests.
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Replace with `Set<String>` (e.g. `ImmutableSet` which is already on the
|
||||
classpath via Guava, or `EnumSet` is not applicable because the values are
|
||||
`String` status tokens):
|
||||
|
||||
```java
|
||||
static final Set<String> DEAD_STATES = ImmutableSet.of(
|
||||
REMOVING_TOKEN, REMOVED_TOKEN, STATUS_LEFT, HIBERNATE);
|
||||
static final Set<String> SILENT_SHUTDOWN_STATES;
|
||||
static {
|
||||
Set<String> s = new HashSet<>(DEAD_STATES);
|
||||
// any additional silent states can be added here
|
||||
SILENT_SHUTDOWN_STATES = Collections.unmodifiableSet(s);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`Set.contains()` is O(1) amortized, making each gossip tick O(|endpoints|).
|
||||
|
||||
## Speedup
|
||||
|
||||
~4x at current DEAD_STATES cardinality; O(1) asymptotically regardless of
|
||||
future status additions. At 1000 nodes: ~4000 string comparisons/sec → ~1000.

# cilium-0001: Requirement.hasValue slices.Contains O(n) called per identity in selector cache → O(n²)
|
||||
|
||||
**Target:** cilium/cilium
|
||||
**Severity:** HIGH
|
||||
**CWE:** CWE-407 (Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity)
|
||||
**File:** `pkg/k8s/slim/k8s/apis/labels/selector.go`
|
||||
**Status:** PATCHED
|
||||
|
||||
## Description
|
||||
|
||||
`Requirement.hasValue(value string)` calls `slices.Contains(r.strValues, value)`
|
||||
where `r.strValues` is a `[]string`. This is O(V) where V = number of values in
|
||||
the requirement's value set (e.g. a `In` selector with many values).
|
||||
|
||||
`hasValue` is called from `Requirement.Matches()`, which is called from
|
||||
`internalSelector.Matches()`, which is called from `selectorcache.go` inside a
|
||||
loop over every security identity in the cache (`for nid, id := range c.ids`).
|
||||
|
||||
Total complexity: O(I × R × V) where I = identities, R = requirements per
|
||||
selector, V = values per requirement. In large clusters with thousands of
|
||||
endpoints and label selectors with many values (e.g. namespace In [ns1, ns2,
|
||||
..., nsN]), this becomes quadratic.
|
||||
|
||||
| Location | Pattern |
|
||||
|----------|---------|
|
||||
| `selector.go:217` | `slices.Contains(r.strValues, value)` — O(V) membership test |
|
||||
| `selector.go:238` | `r.hasValue(val)` in `Matches()` hot path |
|
||||
| `selectorcache.go:118` | `sel.source.Matches(id.lbls)` — called per identity in namespace loop |
|
||||
| `selectorcache.go:728` | `sel.source.Matches(identity.lbls)` — called per identity in full scan |
|
||||
|
||||
## Root cause
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
// selector.go:160 — strValues stored as plain slice
|
||||
type Requirement struct {
|
||||
key string
|
||||
operator selection.Operator
|
||||
strValues []string // ← slice, O(n) membership
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// selector.go:216 — O(V) scan on every label match check
|
||||
func (r *Requirement) hasValue(value string) bool {
|
||||
return slices.Contains(r.strValues, value)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Caller in `selectorcache.go:100` (selections — iterates all identities):
|
||||
```go
|
||||
for nid, id := range c.ids {
|
||||
if sel.source.Matches(id.lbls) { // O(R × V) per identity
|
||||
...
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
In a cluster with I=10,000 identities, R=3 requirements, V=50 values each:
|
||||
1,500,000 string comparisons per selector evaluation.
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Change `strValues` from `[]string` to `sets.String` (or `map[string]struct{}`).
|
||||
The `hasValue` call becomes an O(1) map lookup. The existing `Values()` accessor
|
||||
already returns a `sets.String`, so the change is straightforward.
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
// After fix
|
||||
type Requirement struct {
|
||||
key string
|
||||
operator selection.Operator
|
||||
strValues sets.String // O(1) lookup
|
||||
strValueList []string // keep for ordering/serialization only
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
func (r *Requirement) hasValue(value string) bool {
|
||||
return r.strValues.Has(value) // O(1)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Ops/ns numbers (Java benchmark)
|
||||
|
||||
See `defects/cilium/unit/CiliumTest.java`.
|
||||
At I=10,000 identities, V=50 values: slow ~500,000 ops, fast ~10,000 ops → >50× speedup.

# clickhouse-0001: ReplaceColumnTransformerNode::findReplacementExpression linear scan
|
||||
|
||||
**Target:** ClickHouse/ClickHouse
|
||||
**File:** `src/Analyzer/ColumnTransformers.cpp`,
|
||||
`src/Analyzer/ColumnTransformers.h`
|
||||
**Severity:** MEDIUM
|
||||
**Pattern:** CWE-407 — O(n) membership test inside loop → O(n²)
|
||||
|
||||
## Description
|
||||
|
||||
`ReplaceColumnTransformerNode` stores replacement column names in
|
||||
`Names replacements_names` (`std::vector<std::string>`).
|
||||
|
||||
`findReplacementExpression(expression_name)` performs an O(n) `std::find`
|
||||
scan over `replacements_names` to look up the index of a replacement.
|
||||
|
||||
This function is called from `QueryAnalyzer::resolveColumnsTransformers()`
|
||||
inside a nested double loop:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
for each column in matched_expression_nodes_with_names: // O(C)
|
||||
for each transformer in getColumnTransformers().getNodes(): // O(T)
|
||||
replace_transformer->findReplacementExpression(column_name); // O(R)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Total: **O(C × T × R)** — cubic for queries that use `SELECT * REPLACE (...)`.
|
||||
In production schemas with wide tables (C = 200+) and compound REPLACE lists
|
||||
(R = 20+), this becomes measurable.
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Add a `NameToIndexMap replacements_index` (`std::unordered_map<std::string, size_t>`)
|
||||
alongside `replacements_names`. Populate it on construction; use it in
|
||||
`findReplacementExpression` for O(1) lookup.
|
||||
|
||||
See `defects/clickhouse/patch/0001.patch`.

# cockroachdb-0001: IndexesUsed.add() slices.Contains on growing slice — O(N²)
|
||||
|
||||
**Severity:** MEDIUM
|
||||
**File:** pkg/sql/opt/exec/execbuilder/builder.go
|
||||
**Line:** 206–216
|
||||
**Status:** PATCHED
|
||||
|
||||
## Description
|
||||
|
||||
`IndexesUsed` accumulates the set of (tableID, indexID) pairs referenced by a
|
||||
query. Its `add` method deduplicates by scanning the existing slice:
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
func (iu *IndexesUsed) add(tableID, indexID cat.StableID) {
|
||||
s := struct{ tableID cat.StableID; indexID cat.StableID }{tableID, indexID}
|
||||
if !slices.Contains(iu.indexes, s) {
|
||||
iu.indexes = append(iu.indexes, s)
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`add` is called once per index reference during execution plan building
|
||||
(`relational.go` lines 859, 1009, 2475, 2999, 3197, 3339×2, 4123, 4170).
|
||||
A query joining N tables each with multiple indexes calls `add` O(N) times;
|
||||
each call scans the slice from position 0, giving O(N²) total comparisons.
|
||||
|
||||
For a 200-table star-schema query this is ~20 000 struct comparisons where a
|
||||
map lookup would be ~200.
|
||||
|
||||
## Root Cause
|
||||
|
||||
`IndexesUsed` uses `[]struct{...}` as its backing store. `slices.Contains`
|
||||
performs a linear scan. No map or set is used to track membership separately.
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Replace the slice with a `map` for O(1) deduplication; keep the slice for
|
||||
ordered iteration in `Strings()`:
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
type IndexesUsed struct {
|
||||
indexes []struct {
|
||||
tableID cat.StableID
|
||||
indexID cat.StableID
|
||||
}
|
||||
seen map[[2]cat.StableID]struct{}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
func (iu *IndexesUsed) add(tableID, indexID cat.StableID) {
|
||||
key := [2]cat.StableID{tableID, indexID}
|
||||
if iu.seen == nil {
|
||||
iu.seen = make(map[[2]cat.StableID]struct{})
|
||||
}
|
||||
if _, ok := iu.seen[key]; !ok {

# cpython-0001 — pkgutil extend_path: O(n²) list membership inside portion loop

|
||||

| CWE | CWE-407 (Algorithmic Complexity) |
|

| Severity | MEDIUM |
|

| Status | PATCHED |
|
||||
|
||||
## Description
|
||||
|
||||
`pkgutil.extend_path()` accumulates namespace package path portions while
|
||||
deduplicating against a growing list. For each `portion` yielded by every
|
||||
finder on the meta-path, the guard:
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
for portion in portions:
|
||||
if portion not in path: # O(n) list scan
|
||||
path.append(portion) # n grows with each append
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`path` is a plain `list`; Python's `list.__contains__` is O(n). As `n`
|
||||
portions accumulate the total cost is O(n²). In environments with many
|
||||
namespace packages (scientific stacks, monorepos, editable installs) the
|
||||
meta-path can expose hundreds of portions, making startup/import time
|
||||
super-linear.
|
||||
|
||||
## Reproduction
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
import sys, pkgutil
|
||||
# Synthetic: 500 distinct portions
|
||||
portions = [f"/opt/pkg{i}/ns" for i in range(500)]
|
||||
path = []
|
||||
for p in portions:
|
||||
if p not in path: # O(i) each iteration
|
||||
path.append(p)
|
||||
# 500 iterations × average 250 comparisons = 125,000 string comparisons
|
||||
# vs set: 500 × O(1) = 500 hash probes
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Replace the list with a parallel `set` for O(1) membership testing while
|
||||
preserving insertion order in the list.
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
seen = set(path)
|
||||
for portion in portions:
|
||||
if portion not in seen:
|
||||
path.append(portion)
|
||||
seen.add(portion)
|
||||
```

# curl-0001: Curl_cookie_add replace_existing — O(C²) linked-list scan per same-domain cookie
|
||||
|
||||
**Target:** curl
|
||||
**File:** `lib/cookie.c`
|
||||
**Function:** `replace_existing` (called from `Curl_cookie_add`)
|
||||
**CWE:** CWE-407 — Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity
|
||||
**Severity:** MEDIUM
|
||||
**Status:** PATCHED
|
||||
|
||||
## Description
|
||||
|
||||
`Curl_cookie_add()` stores cookies in 63 hash buckets keyed by the top-level
|
||||
domain (`COOKIE_HASH_SIZE = 63`). Before inserting a new cookie it calls
|
||||
`replace_existing()`, which walks the entire linked list of the target bucket to
|
||||
find and remove a matching (name, domain, path) cookie:
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
// cookie.c line 831-832 (replace_existing)
|
||||
size_t myhash = cookiehash(co->domain);
|
||||
for(n = Curl_llist_head(&ci->cookielist[myhash]); n; n = Curl_node_next(n)) {
|
||||
struct Cookie *clist = Curl_node_elem(n);
|
||||
if(!strcmp(clist->name, co->name)) { // O(C/63) per call
|
||||
...
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Because the bucket size is fixed at 63, all cookies from the same domain land in
|
||||
the same bucket. For C cookies sharing one domain the cost per `Curl_cookie_add`
|
||||
call is O(C) — scanning the entire bucket. Over C insertions that is **O(C²)**.
|
||||
|
||||
Real-world exposure: a response that sets many cookies for one domain (e.g.
|
||||
large JAR files, test harnesses, or adversarial servers) triggers quadratic
|
||||
work in the client. A site setting 10 000 per-path cookies (within
|
||||
`MAX_COOKIE_SEND_AMOUNT` limits) costs ~50 M string comparisons.
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Maintain a secondary `Curl_hash` keyed by `name` within `CookieInfo`, mapping
|
||||
`name → Curl_llist_node *`. Before walking the bucket, look up the candidate
|
||||
node in O(1); walk only if the hash indicates a potential match. Alternatively,
|
||||
switch the per-bucket structure from a linked list to a hash table keyed by
|
||||
`(name, domain, path)`.
|
||||
|
||||
Minimal patch: add a `Curl_hash name_index` field to `CookieInfo`, populated at
|
||||
insert time and invalidated at remove time, so that `replace_existing` performs
|
||||
a single hash lookup instead of a full list scan.

# duckdb-0001: CorrelatedColumns dedup via vector linear scan in Binder
|
||||
|
||||
**Target:** duckdb/duckdb
|
||||
**File:** `src/planner/binder.cpp`,
|
||||
`src/planner/expression_binder/lateral_binder.cpp`
|
||||
**Severity:** MEDIUM
|
||||
**Pattern:** CWE-407 — O(n) membership test inside loop → O(n²)
|
||||
|
||||
## Description
|
||||
|
||||
`CorrelatedColumns` (in `src/include/duckdb/planner/binder.hpp`) is a wrapper
|
||||
around `vector<CorrelatedColumnInfo>`. Two dedup sites perform O(n) linear
|
||||
`std::find` membership tests on this vector before inserting a new entry:
|
||||
|
||||
### Site 1 — `Binder::AddCorrelatedColumn` (binder.cpp)
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
void Binder::MergeCorrelatedColumns(CorrelatedColumns &other) {
|
||||
for (idx_t i = 0; i < other.size(); i++) { // O(n) outer
|
||||
AddCorrelatedColumn(other[i]); // O(n) inner std::find
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
void Binder::AddCorrelatedColumn(const CorrelatedColumnInfo &info) {
|
||||
if (std::find(correlated_columns.begin(), correlated_columns.end(), info)
|
||||
== correlated_columns.end()) { // O(n) scan
|
||||
correlated_columns.AddColumn(info);
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`MergeCorrelatedColumns` is called when flattening dependent joins.
|
||||
For a query with C correlated columns across S subquery levels, total
|
||||
work is **O(C² × S)**.
|
||||
|
||||
### Site 2 — `LateralBinder::ExtractCorrelatedColumns` (lateral_binder.cpp)
|
||||
|
||||
Called recursively for every expression node, with an O(n) `std::find` per
|
||||
`BOUND_COLUMN_REF` encountered. For a wide SELECT with many lateral references
|
||||
this is **O(expr_nodes × correlated_columns)**.
|
||||
|
||||
### Site 3 — `HasCorrelatedExpressions::VisitReplace` (has_correlated_expressions.cpp)
|
||||
|
||||
Inner loop: `for each correlated_column → std::find on subquery binder's
|
||||
correlated_columns` — O(C²) per subquery expression visit.
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Add `unordered_set<ColumnBinding, ColumnBindingHash>` as a shadow set inside
|
||||
`CorrelatedColumns` (or replace the vector with a set+ordered vector pair) so
|
||||
that `contains()` is O(1) and insertion is O(1) amortized.
|
||||

||||

# envoy-0001: PreviousHostsRetryPredicate std::find O(n) per retry attempt → O(n²)
|
||||
|
||||
**Target:** envoyproxy/envoy
|
||||
**Severity:** HIGH
|
||||
**CWE:** CWE-407 (Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity)
|
||||
**File:** `source/extensions/retry/host/previous_hosts/previous_hosts.h`
|
||||
**Status:** PATCHED
|
||||
|
||||
## Description
|
||||
|
||||
`PreviousHostsRetryPredicate::shouldSelectAnotherHost()` performs `std::find` on
|
||||
`attempted_hosts_` (a `std::vector<HostDescription const*>`). This method is
|
||||
called by the load balancer inside a host-selection retry loop
|
||||
(`ZoneAwareLoadBalancerBase::chooseHost`) for every candidate host on every
|
||||
retry attempt. With R retries and H previously-attempted hosts, the total work
|
||||
is O(R × H) comparisons — O(n²) in the worst case where max_attempts equals
|
||||
the cluster size.
|
||||
|
||||
| Location | Pattern |
|
||||
|----------|---------|
|
||||
| `previous_hosts.h:10` | `std::find(attempted_hosts_.begin(), attempted_hosts_.end(), &candidate_host)` |
|
||||
| `load_balancer_impl.cc:668` | outer loop: `for (size_t i = 0; i < max_attempts; ++i)` calling `shouldSelectAnotherHost` |
|
||||
| `thread_aware_lb_impl.cc:232` | same pattern in thread-aware variant |
|
||||
|
||||
## Root cause
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
// previous_hosts.h — O(n) scan per call
|
||||
bool shouldSelectAnotherHost(const Upstream::Host& candidate_host) override {
|
||||
return std::find(attempted_hosts_.begin(), attempted_hosts_.end(),
|
||||
&candidate_host) != attempted_hosts_.end();
|
||||
}
|
||||
void onHostAttempted(Upstream::HostDescriptionConstSharedPtr attempted_host) override {
|
||||
attempted_hosts_.emplace_back(attempted_host.get());
|
||||
}
|
||||
private:
|
||||
std::vector<Upstream::HostDescription const*> attempted_hosts_;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Caller loop in `load_balancer_impl.cc:658`:
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
const size_t max_attempts = context ? context->hostSelectionRetryCount() + 1 : 1;
|
||||
for (size_t i = 0; i < max_attempts; ++i) {
|
||||
host = chooseHostOnce(context);
|
||||
if (!host || !context || !context->shouldSelectAnotherHost(*host)) {
|
||||
return host; // O(attempted_hosts) per iteration
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
With a cluster of N=100 endpoints and max_attempts=100, a single load-balancing
|
||||
decision may require up to 100 × 100 = 10,000 pointer comparisons. In a busy
|
||||
proxy handling thousands of requests/second, this compounds.
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Replace `attempted_hosts_` vector with `absl::flat_hash_set<>` or
|
||||
`std::unordered_set<>`. Pointer identity is the key, so no custom hash is
|
||||
needed — pointer addresses hash trivially.
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
#include "absl/container/flat_hash_set.h"
|
||||
|
||||
bool shouldSelectAnotherHost(const Upstream::Host& candidate_host) override {
|
||||
return attempted_hosts_.contains(&candidate_host); // O(1)
|
||||
}
|
||||
void onHostAttempted(Upstream::HostDescriptionConstSharedPtr attempted_host) override {
|
||||
attempted_hosts_.insert(attempted_host.get()); // O(1) amortized
|
||||
}
|
||||
private:
|
||||
absl::flat_hash_set<Upstream::HostDescription const*> attempted_hosts_;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Ops/ns numbers (Java benchmark)
|
||||
|
||||
See `defects/envoy/unit/EnvoyTest.java`.
|
||||
At R=100 retries, H=100 hosts: slow ~5050 ops, fast ~100 ops → >50× speedup.

# ffmpeg-0001 — Codec Tag Linear Scan Per Stream (CWE-407)
|
||||
|
||||
**Status:** PATCHED
|
||||
**Severity:** MEDIUM
|
||||
**Target:** FFmpeg `libavformat/utils.c`
|
||||
**Functions:** `ff_codec_get_tag()`, `ff_codec_get_id()`, `av_codec_get_tag2()`
|
||||
|
||||
## Defect
|
||||
|
||||
`ff_codec_get_tag()` performs an O(N) linear scan over a static `AVCodecTag[]`
|
||||
array to map a codec ID to a 4-byte FourCC tag. The arrays are large:
|
||||
|
||||
| Table | Entries |
|
||||
|---------------------------|---------|
|
||||
| `ff_codec_movvideo_tags` | 239 |
|
||||
| `ff_codec_bmp_tags` | 460 |
|
||||
| `ff_codec_movaudio_tags` | 60 |
|
||||
| `ff_codec_wav_tags` | 85 |
|
||||
|
||||
This function is called for **every stream** in every muxer hot path:
|
||||
|
||||
- `movenc.c:2135` — `mov_get_codec_tag()` calls it 2–3 times per video/audio track
|
||||
- `matroskaenc.c:1251,1262,1267,1281` — Matroska mux does the same
|
||||
- `flvenc.c:260,1012,1296` — FLV encoder
|
||||
- `cafenc.c:120,153` — CAF encoder
|
||||
- `au.c:295` — AU encoder
|
||||
|
||||
When multiplexing a file with many streams (e.g., a playlist transcode or
|
||||
broadcast ingest with 50+ streams), this becomes O(S × N) where S = stream
|
||||
count and N = table size (up to 460).
|
||||
|
||||
`ff_codec_get_id()` is worse — it scans the array **twice** (once exact, once
|
||||
case-insensitive via `ff_toupper4`) for a total of O(2N) per call.
|
||||
|
||||
## Root Cause
|
||||
|
||||
`AVCodecTag` arrays are statically allocated flat arrays with sentinel
|
||||
`AV_CODEC_ID_NONE` terminators. No hash index is built at startup.
|
||||
Both directions (id→tag and tag→id) are O(N) linear scans.
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Build a `uint32_t → AVCodecID` and `AVCodecID → uint32_t` hash map
|
||||
at program startup (or lazily on first call) keyed on codec ID /
|
||||
FourCC tag. The arrays are read-only after init; one-time O(N) build
|
||||
cost, then O(1) lookups.
|
||||
|
||||
Patch: `defects/ffmpeg/patch/ffmpeg-0001.patch`
|
||||
|
||||
## Complexity
|
||||
|
||||
| | Before | After |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| `ff_codec_get_tag` | O(N), N≤460 | O(1) amortized |
|
||||
| `ff_codec_get_id` | O(2N) | O(1) |
|
||||
| `av_codec_get_tag2` | O(T×N) T=table count | O(1) |
|
||||
|
||||
## Benchmark
|
||||
|
||||
See `defects/ffmpeg/unit/FFmpegCodecTagTest.java` — at N=500 (synthetic),
|
||||
the linear scan executes ≥100× more comparisons than the hash map.

# flink-0001: JobGraph user-jar dedup — List.contains() O(n²)
|
||||
|
||||
**Target:** Apache Flink
|
||||
**File:** `flink-runtime/src/main/java/org/apache/flink/runtime/jobgraph/JobGraph.java`
|
||||
**CWE:** CWE-407 — Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity
|

**Severity:** MEDIUM
|
||||
**Status:** PATCHED
|
||||
|
||||
## Description
|
||||
|
||||
`JobGraph.addJar(Path)` and `addUserJarBlobKey(PermanentBlobKey)` deduplicate entries
|
||||
using `List.contains()` on `ArrayList` fields. Each call scans the entire list linearly.
|
||||
When a job graph is constructed with N jar entries (via `addJars(List<URL>)`), total cost
|
||||
is O(1) + O(2) + … + O(n) = **O(n²)**.
|
||||
|
||||
```java
|
||||
// flink-runtime/.../JobGraph.java line 568
|
||||
private final List<Path> userJars = new ArrayList<Path>(); // O(n) contains
|
||||
private final List<PermanentBlobKey> userJarBlobKeys = new ArrayList<>(); // O(n) contains
|
||||
|
||||
public void addJar(Path jar) {
|
||||
if (!userJars.contains(jar)) { // O(n) per call
|
||||
userJars.add(jar);
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
public void addUserJarBlobKey(PermanentBlobKey key) {
|

if (!userJarBlobKeys.contains(key)) { // O(n) per call
|
||||
userJarBlobKeys.add(key);
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`addJars(List<URL>)` calls `addJar()` in a loop, making the total cost O(n²) for n jars.
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Replace `ArrayList` with `LinkedHashSet` (preserves insertion order, O(1) contains/add)
|
||||
and expose a `List` view via `new ArrayList<>(set)` only at read time.

# go-0001 — CWE-407: isParameterized tparams slices.Index linear scan
|
||||
|
||||
**Target:** golang/go — `src/cmd/compile/internal/types2/infer.go`
|
||||
**Severity:** MEDIUM
|
||||
**Complexity:** O(n²) → O(n)
|
||||
|
||||
## Defect
|
||||
|
||||
`tpWalker.isParameterized` walks the type graph recursively. At each `*TypeParam`
|
||||
node (line 630) it calls `slices.Index(w.tparams, t)` to check membership:
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
case *TypeParam:
|
||||
return slices.Index(w.tparams, t) >= 0
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`w.tparams` is a `[]*TypeParam` slice. `slices.Index` is O(n) linear scan.
|
||||
|
||||
`isParameterized` is called in the inner body of type-inference loops (lines 173,
|
||||
290, 420–443, 451). For a generic function with N type parameters, each call walks
|
||||
up to N TypeParam nodes, each doing an O(N) scan → O(N²) total per inference
|
||||
invocation. With deeply nested generic types or long type parameter lists, this
|
||||
compounds across every call site in the outer `dirty` loop.
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Replace the `tparams []*TypeParam` slice with a `tset map[*TypeParam]bool`
|
||||
pre-built before walking. Then membership is O(1) per node.
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
func isParameterized(tparams []*TypeParam, typ Type) bool {
|
||||
tset := make(map[*TypeParam]bool, len(tparams))
|
||||
for _, tp := range tparams {
|
||||
tset[tp] = true
|
||||
}
|
||||
w := tpWalker{
|
||||
tparams: tset,
|
||||
seen: make(map[Type]bool),
|
||||
}
|
||||
return w.isParameterized(typ)
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
type tpWalker struct {
|
||||
tparams map[*TypeParam]bool // was []*TypeParam
|
||||
seen map[Type]bool
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// In isParameterized switch:
|
||||
case *TypeParam:
|
||||
return w.tparams[t]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Impact
|
||||
|
||||
- Triggered during type inference for every generic function call
|
||||
- Scales with number of type parameters × depth of type graph
|
||||
- Projects with many generic functions (e.g. large generics-heavy codebases)

# gradle-0001 — OptionReader: CollectionUtils.toList(optionNames).contains() rebuilt per method
|
||||
|
||||
## Target
|
||||
`gradle/gradle` — `subprojects/core/src/main/java/org/gradle/api/internal/tasks/options/OptionReader.java`
|
||||
|
||||
## CWE
|
||||
CWE-407: Algorithmic Complexity — O(n) linear membership inside a hot loop
|
||||
|
||||
## Location
|
||||
```
|
||||
OptionReader.java:94-96
|
||||
for (JavaMethod<Object, ?> optionValueMethod : optionValueMethods) {
|
||||
String[] optionNames = getOptionNames(optionValueMethod);
|
||||
if (CollectionUtils.toList(optionNames).contains(optionElement.getOptionName())) {
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Description
|
||||
`getOptionValueMethodForOption()` iterates over all `@OptionValues`-annotated methods in a task
|
||||
class. For each method, it calls `CollectionUtils.toList(optionNames)` — converting a `String[]` to
|
||||
a new `ArrayList` — then calls `.contains()` on it, performing a linear scan.
|
||||
|
||||
This runs during task option resolution: once per `(OptionElement, task class)` pair. For a task
|
||||
with A option elements and M value-methods each with N option names, complexity is O(A × M × N).
|
||||
|
||||
The `optionNames` array is sourced from `@OptionValues(value = {...})` annotation data and is
|
||||
effectively a constant per method — a perfect candidate for a precomputed `HashSet`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Complexity
|
||||
- Slow path: O(A × M × N) — new ArrayList per inner-loop iteration
|
||||
- Fast path: O(A × M) with `Arrays.asList(optionNames)` → `HashSet` or direct array membership check

# grafana-0001: dfs() visited-array Array.includes — O(n²) on time-range refresh
|
||||
|
||||
**Target:** Grafana (public/app/features/variables)
|
||||
**File:** `public/app/features/variables/state/actions.ts`
|
||||
**CWE:** CWE-407 — Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity
|
||||
**Severity:** MEDIUM
|
||||
**Status:** PATCHED
|
||||
|
||||
## Description
|
||||
|
||||
`dfs()` and `getVariablesThatNeedRefreshNew()` track visited graph nodes using a
|
||||
plain `string[]` array (`visitedDfs`). Each visit check calls `visited.includes(node.name)`
|
||||
which is O(V) where V = visited count. The outer `allVariables.forEach` iterates N
|
||||
variables, and inside `dfs()` every `outputEdges.forEach` call also performs
|
||||
`!visited.includes(child.name)` — making the total cost **O(N²)** in the number of
|
||||
dashboard variables.
|
||||
|
||||
This code runs on every time-range change event for every dashboard that uses
|
||||
query variables with `onTimeRangeChanged` refresh. Dashboards with 50+ variables
|
||||
(common in large Grafana deployments) experience quadratic work per time-range
|
||||
update.
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// actions.ts line 666-671
|
||||
const dfs = (node, visited: string[], variables, variablesRefreshTimeRange) => {
|
||||
if (!visited.includes(node.name)) { // O(V) — called O(N) times → O(N²)
|
||||
visited.push(node.name);
|
||||
}
|
||||
node.outputEdges.forEach((e) => {
|
||||
if (child && !visited.includes(child.name)) { // another O(V) per edge
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
And the outer loop (line 728):
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
if (visitedDfs.includes(v.name)) { // O(V) inside forEach over allVariables → O(N²)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Replace `visited: string[]` with `visited: Set<string>`. All `.includes()` calls
|
||||
become `.has()` — O(1). `.push()` becomes `.add()`. Total DFS cost drops to O(N + E)
|
||||
where E = number of variable dependency edges.

# gstreamer-0001 — gst_element_factory_list_filter() O(N×M) Per Caps Change (CWE-407)
|
||||
|
||||
**Status:** PATCHED
|
||||
**Severity:** HIGH
|
||||
**Target:** GStreamer `gst/gstelementfactory.c`, `gst-plugins-base/gst/playback/gstdecodebin3.c`
|
||||
**Functions:** `gst_element_factory_list_filter()`, `gst_registry_feature_filter()`
|
||||
|
||||
## Defect
|
||||
|
||||
`gst_element_factory_list_filter()` performs an O(N × M) scan where:
|
||||
- N = number of registered element factories (can be 500–1000 with full plugin install)
|
||||
- M = number of pad templates per factory (typically 1–4)
|
||||
|
||||
This is called from `create_decoder_factory_list()` (gstdecodebin3.c:3717)
|
||||
on **every caps change** during autoplugging:
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
static GList *
|
||||
create_decoder_factory_list(GstDecodebin3 *dbin, GstCaps *caps)
|
||||
{
|
||||
gst_decode_bin_update_factories_list(dbin); // O(N) feature scan
|
||||
res = gst_element_factory_list_filter( // O(N × M)
|
||||
dbin->decoder_factories, caps, GST_PAD_SINK, TRUE);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`gst_decode_bin_update_factories_list()` itself calls
|
||||
`gst_element_factory_list_get_elements()` → `gst_registry_feature_filter()`,
|
||||
which snapshots the entire feature list (O(N) with lock), then applies a
|
||||
callback to each entry.
|
||||
|
||||
### Inner loop complexity
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
gst_element_factory_list_filter(GList *list, const GstCaps *caps, ...):
|
||||
for each factory in list: // O(N)
|
||||
for each pad_template in factory: // O(M)
|
||||
tmpl_caps = gst_static_caps_get(...)
|
||||
gst_caps_can_intersect(caps, tmpl_caps) // O(S1 × S2) caps structures
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`gst_caps_can_intersect` is itself O(S1 × S2) where S1, S2 are the number of
|
||||
structures in each caps. Total: O(N × M × S²).
|
||||
|
||||
### Hot path
|
||||
|
||||
`db_output_stream_setup_decoder()` (gstdecodebin3.c:3862) calls
|
||||
`create_decoder_factory_list()` per output stream on caps negotiation. In a
|
||||
multi-stream media file (e.g., MKV with 5 audio tracks + video + subtitles),
|
||||
this fires for every stream setup and every dynamic caps renegotiation.
|
||||
|
||||
## Root Cause
|
||||
|
||||
The factory list has no caps-keyed index. Every decoder selection requires
|
||||
a full scan. The registry does have a hash (`feature_hash`) for name lookup,
|
||||
but no structure for caps-based lookup.
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Build a caps-structure-name → factory multimap at registry update time.
|
||||
Each `GstStaticPadTemplate` has a `static_caps` with a media type string
|
||||
(e.g., `"video/x-h264"`). Index on the media type (first structure name)
|
||||
using a `GHashTable<gchar*, GList*>`. On `list_filter`, extract the
|
||||
media type from `caps`, hash-lookup the candidate factories, and verify
|
||||
full caps compatibility only against those candidates (typically 1–3).
|
||||
|
||||
Patch: `defects/gstreamer/patch/gstreamer-0001.patch`
|
||||
|
||||
## Complexity
|
||||
|
||||
| | Before | After |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| `list_filter` | O(N × M × S²) | O(k × M × S²), k≈1–3 |
|
||||
| `get_elements` | O(N) full scan | O(N) once, then O(1) via hash |
|
||||
| Per stream setup | O(N × M) | O(1) amortized |
|
||||
|
||||
With N=500, M=2, S=2: before=2000 caps ops per stream setup;
|
||||
after=~12 caps ops (k=3). ~167× reduction.
|
||||
|
||||
## Benchmark
|
||||
|
||||
See `defects/gstreamer/unit/GstreamerFactoryFilterTest.java` — at N=500
|
||||
factories, linear filter vs hash-indexed filter; linear executes >100×

more intersection tests.

# haproxy-0001: pat_match_bin list walk below LRU threshold
|
||||
|
||||
**Target:** haproxy
|
||||
**File:** `src/pattern.c`
|
||||
**Function:** `pat_match_bin` (also `pat_match_sub`, `pat_match_end`, `pat_match_beg`)
|
||||
**Lines:** 559–588
|
||||
**Severity:** HIGH
|
||||
**CWE:** CWE-407 (Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity)
|
||||
|
||||
## Description
|
||||
|
||||
HAProxy evaluates ACL patterns on every request. `pat_match_bin` walks a linked
|
||||
list of binary patterns with `list_for_each_entry` on every call:
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
list_for_each_entry(lst, &expr->patterns, list) {
|
||||
pattern = &lst->pat;
|
||||
|
||||
if (pattern->ref->gen_id != expr->ref->curr_gen)
|
||||
continue;
|
||||
|
||||
if (pattern->len != smp->data.u.str.data)
|
||||
continue;
|
||||
|
||||
if (memcmp(pattern->ptr.str, smp->data.u.str.area,
|
||||
smp->data.u.str.data) == 0) {
|
||||
ret = pattern;
|
||||
break;
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The LRU cache (`pat_lru_tree`) only activates when `entry_cnt >= 20`. Below
|
||||
that threshold — the common case for most HAProxy ACL files — every request
|
||||
triggers a full O(P) list walk. With R requests/second and P patterns, total
|
||||
work is O(P × R).
|
||||
|
||||
The same defect exists in `pat_match_sub`, `pat_match_end`, and `pat_match_beg`
|
||||
(all use `list_for_each_entry` with no tree fallback and LRU threshold ≥ 20).
|
||||
`pat_match_regm` has no LRU at all.
|
||||
|
||||
`pat_match_str` and `pat_match_beg` already have an `ebst_lookup` / EB-tree
|
||||
fast path for exact/prefix matches but only when patterns were inserted into the
|
||||
tree; the list fallback still executes for patterns not in the tree.
|
||||
|
||||
## Impact
|
||||
|
||||
- Every ACL binary-match expression with 1–19 patterns: O(P) per request.
|
||||
- Production ACLs: 4–16 backend-selection rules, evaluated on every request.
|
||||
- 10 000 RPS × 10 patterns = 100 000 list-node traversals/second.
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Lower the LRU activation threshold from 20 to 1 for `pat_match_bin`.
|
||||
Alternatively, use a fixed-size hash map (key = length-prefixed binary value,
|
||||
value = pattern pointer) built at configuration commit time, consulted O(1) at
|
||||
request time.

# helm-0001: processDependencyEnabled — O(n²) nested dependency lookup
|
||||
|
||||
**Target:** helm/helm
|
||||
**File:** `internal/chart/v3/util/dependencies.go`
|
||||
**Severity:** MEDIUM
|
||||
**Pattern:** CWE-407 — O(n) scan inside O(n) loop → O(n²)
|
||||
|
||||
## Description
|
||||
|
||||
`processDependencyEnabled` contains two O(n²) patterns:
|
||||
|
||||
### Pattern A — nested loop (lines 157-163)
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
for _, existing := range c.Dependencies() { // O(E)
|
||||
for _, req := range c.Metadata.Dependencies { // O(M) per existing
|
||||
if existing.Name() == req.Name && ...
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For each already-loaded chart it scans the full metadata dependency list to decide whether to
|
||||
keep it. Complexity: O(E × M).
|
||||
|
||||
### Pattern B — getAliasDependency called per metadata dep (lines 166-176)
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
for _, req := range c.Metadata.Dependencies { // O(M)
|
||||
if chartDependency := getAliasDependency(c.Dependencies(), req) // O(C) each
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`getAliasDependency` is itself a linear scan over `c.Dependencies()`. Complexity: O(M × C).
|
||||
|
||||
In a chart with D dependencies both patterns are O(D²). In umbrella charts or operator bundles
|
||||
that embed dozens of sub-charts this shows up as O(D²) work on every `helm install` / `helm
|
||||
upgrade`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Index `c.Dependencies()` by name before the loops:
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
depsByName := make(map[string]*chart.Chart, len(c.Dependencies()))
|
||||
for _, dep := range c.Dependencies() {
|
||||
depsByName[dep.Name()] = dep
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then replace both inner scans with O(1) map lookups.

# istio-0001: virtualHostMatch slices.Contains(vh.Domains) O(n) inside VH×patch nested loop → O(n²)
|
||||
|
||||
**Target:** istio/istio
|
||||
**Severity:** HIGH
|
||||
**CWE:** CWE-407 (Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity)
|
||||
**File:** `pilot/pkg/networking/core/envoyfilter/rc_patch.go`
|
||||
**Status:** PATCHED
|
||||
|
||||
## Description
|
||||
|
||||
`virtualHostMatch()` calls `slices.Contains(vh.Domains, match.DomainName)` to
|
||||
test whether a VirtualHost serves a given domain. This function is called from
|
||||
`patchVirtualHost()`, which is invoked in a loop over every VirtualHost in a
|
||||
route configuration. For each VirtualHost there is an inner loop over all
|
||||
applicable EnvoyFilter patches. Each `slices.Contains` call is O(D) where D =
|
||||
number of domains on the VirtualHost. The overall complexity is O(VH × P × D)
|
||||
— cubic in the worst case.
|
||||
|
||||
In a large Istio mesh with many services and EnvoyFilter rules, VirtualHosts
|
||||
routinely have dozens of domain aliases (service name, FQDN, short name,
|
||||
wildcard variants). A single xDS push iterates this product for every
|
||||
listener/route-config pair.
|
||||
|
||||
| Location | Pattern |
|
||||
|----------|---------|
|
||||
| `rc_patch.go:346` | `slices.Contains(vh.Domains, match.DomainName)` — O(D) membership test |
|
||||
| `rc_patch.go:116` | `virtualHostMatch(virtualHosts[idx], rp)` called per VH per patch |
|
||||
| `rc_patch.go:79` | outer loop: `for i := range routeConfiguration.VirtualHosts` |
|
||||
|
||||
## Root cause
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
// rc_patch.go:327 — O(D) per call
|
||||
func virtualHostMatch(vh *route.VirtualHost, rp *model.EnvoyFilterConfigPatchWrapper) bool {
|
||||
match := rp.Match.GetRouteConfiguration().GetVhost()
|
||||
if match == nil { return true }
|
||||
return (match.Name == "" || match.Name == vh.Name) &&
|
||||
(match.DomainName == "" || slices.Contains(vh.Domains, match.DomainName))
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// rc_patch.go:112 — called in O(VH × P) loop
|
||||
for i := range routeConfiguration.VirtualHosts {
|
||||
...
|
||||
virtualHostMatch(virtualHosts[idx], rp) // O(D) inside
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
With 500 VirtualHosts × 20 patches × 15 domains each: 150,000 string
|
||||
comparisons per route-config push.
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Build a `map[string]*route.VirtualHost` keyed by domain before the patch loop,
|
||||
so each domain lookup is O(1).
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
// Build domain→VH index once, outside the patch loop
|
||||
domainIndex := make(map[string]*route.VirtualHost, len(routeConfiguration.VirtualHosts))
|
||||
for _, vh := range routeConfiguration.VirtualHosts {
|
||||
for _, d := range vh.Domains {
|
||||
domainIndex[d] = vh
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// virtualHostMatch: O(1)
|
||||
func virtualHostMatchFast(vh *route.VirtualHost, rp *model.EnvoyFilterConfigPatchWrapper,
|
||||
domainIndex map[string]*route.VirtualHost) bool {
|
||||
match := rp.Match.GetRouteConfiguration().GetVhost()
|
||||
if match == nil { return true }
|
||||
if match.Name != "" && match.Name != vh.Name { return false }
|
||||
if match.DomainName == "" { return true }
|
||||
return domainIndex[match.DomainName] == vh
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Ops/ns numbers (Java benchmark)
|
||||
|
||||
See `defects/istio/unit/IstioTest.java`.
|
||||
At VH=500, P=20, D=15: slow ~150,000 ops, fast ~10,000 ops → >10× speedup.

# jetty-0001: HttpFields.formatCsvExcludingExisting — QuotedCSV.getValues() List.contains() O(n²)
|
||||
|
||||
**Target:** Eclipse Jetty
|
||||
**File:** `jetty-core/jetty-http/src/main/java/org/eclipse/jetty/http/HttpFields.java`
|
||||
**CWE:** CWE-407 — Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity
|
||||
**Severity:** MEDIUM
|
||||
**Status:** PATCHED
|
||||
|
||||
## Description
|
||||
|
||||
`HttpFields.Mutable.addCSV()` (both header and name variants) calls the private
|
||||
helper `formatCsvExcludingExisting(QuotedCSV existing, String... values)`. Inside
|
||||
that helper the loop iterates over all incoming `values` and calls
|
||||
`existing.getValues().contains(unquoted)` on each iteration.
|
||||
|
||||
`QuotedCSV.getValues()` returns the internal `_values` field, which is
|
||||
`ArrayList<String>` (line 107). Each `.contains()` call is therefore O(m) where
|
||||
m is the number of existing CSV values. With V values to add and M existing
|
||||
values, the total is O(V × M).
|
||||
|
||||
When `addCSV()` is called per-request (e.g. to add `Vary` or `Cache-Control`
|
||||
token lists), V and M grow with the number of directives/values, making this
|
||||
O(n²) under adversarial or large header inputs.
|
||||
|
||||
```java
|
||||
// HttpFields.java line 1576-1591
|
||||
private static String formatCsvExcludingExisting(QuotedCSV existing, String... values) {
|
||||
boolean add = true;
|
||||
if (existing != null && !existing.isEmpty()) {
|
||||
add = false;
|
||||
for (int i = values.length; i-- > 0; ) {
|
||||
String unquoted = QuotedCSV.unquote(values[i]);
|
||||
if (existing.getValues().contains(unquoted)) // O(m) scan per value → O(V×M)
|
||||
values[i] = null;
|
||||
else
|
||||
add = true;
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
...
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// QuotedCSV.java line 107
|
||||
private final List<String> _values = new ArrayList<>(); // O(n) contains()
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Convert the `existing` values to a `HashSet<String>` once before the loop, then
|
||||
call `existingSet.contains(unquoted)` at O(1) per lookup.
|
||||
|
||||
```java
|
||||
private static String formatCsvExcludingExisting(QuotedCSV existing, String... values) {
|
||||
boolean add = true;
|
||||
if (existing != null && !existing.isEmpty()) {
|
||||
add = false;
|
||||
Set<String> existingSet = new HashSet<>(existing.getValues()); // O(m) once
|
||||
for (int i = values.length; i-- > 0; ) {

# julia-0001: isrelocatable() scans Vector for membership per include → O(n²)
|
||||
|
||||
**Target:** JuliaLang/julia
|
||||
**Severity:** MEDIUM
|
||||
**CWE:** CWE-407 (Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity)
|
||||
**File:** `base/loading.jl` — `isrelocatable()` (~line 2096)
|
||||
**Status:** PATCHED
|
||||
|
||||
## Description
|
||||
|
||||
`isrelocatable()` reads the cache header to retrieve `includes` (all included
|
||||
files) and `includes_srcfiles` (the subset that are source files). It then
|
||||
loops over `includes` and tests `inc ∉ includes_srcfiles` to identify
|
||||
include-dependencies. `includes_srcfiles` is a `Vector{CacheHeaderIncludes}`,
|
||||
so `∉` compiles to a linear scan using `==` on each element. With `n` entries
|
||||
in `includes` and up to `n` entries in `includes_srcfiles`, this is O(n²).
|
||||
|
||||
During package precompile validation, `isrelocatable()` is called for every
|
||||
package in the depot. Large projects (hundreds of includes) pay quadratic cost
|
||||
on every validation pass.
|
||||
|
||||
## Root cause
|
||||
|
||||
```julia
|
||||
# base/loading.jl ~2102
|
||||
_, (includes, includes_srcfiles, _), _... = _parse_cache_header(io, path)
|
||||
for inc in includes # outer O(n)
|
||||
if inc ∉ includes_srcfiles # inner O(n) Vector linear scan
|
||||
track_content = inc.mtime == -1.0
|
||||
track_content || return false
|
||||
end
|
||||
end
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`includes_srcfiles` is a `Vector{CacheHeaderIncludes}` built in
|
||||
`parse_cache_header`. The `∉` operator on a Vector is O(length).
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Build a `Set{CacheHeaderIncludes}` from `includes_srcfiles` before the loop so
|
||||
membership tests are O(1).
|
||||
|
||||
```julia
|
||||
srcfiles_set = Set{CacheHeaderIncludes}(includes_srcfiles)
|
||||
for inc in includes
|
||||
if inc ∉ srcfiles_set # O(1) hash lookup
|
||||
track_content = inc.mtime == -1.0
|
||||
track_content || return false
|
||||
end
|
||||
end
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`CacheHeaderIncludes` is a mutable struct; equality (`==`) is already defined
|
||||
structurally via `isequal` fallback, and `hash` can be derived from the
|
||||
`filename` field (unique per include).
|
||||
|
||||
## Ops numbers (Java benchmark)
|
||||
|
||||
See `defects/julia/unit/JuliaTest.java` (bench label "isrelocatable-includes").
|
||||
At N=1000 includes: slow ~500,500 comparisons, fast ~1000 → ~500× speedup.

# kotlin-0002 — CWE-407: TypeBoundsImpl bounds ArrayList.contains linear scan
|
||||
|
||||
**Target:** JetBrains/kotlin — `compiler/frontend/src/org/jetbrains/kotlin/resolve/calls/inference/`
|
||||
**Severity:** HIGH
|
||||
**Complexity:** O(n²) → O(n)
|
||||
|
||||
## Defect
|
||||
|
||||
`TypeBoundsImpl.bounds` is declared as `ArrayList<Bound>` (TypeBoundsImpl.kt:31):
|
||||
|
||||
```kotlin
|
||||
override val bounds = ArrayList<Bound>()
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`ConstraintSystemBuilderImpl.addBound` (line 277) calls:
|
||||
|
||||
```kotlin
|
||||
if (typeBounds.bounds.contains(bound)) return
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`ArrayList.contains` is O(n) — it walks the list comparing each element.
|
||||
|
||||
`Bound` has correct `equals`/`hashCode` (TypeBounds.kt:49–70), so a hash-backed
|
||||
collection would give O(1) membership. The fix is to use `LinkedHashSet<Bound>`
|
||||
which preserves insertion order (needed for deterministic type inference output)
|
||||
while providing O(1) `contains`.
|
||||
|
||||
`addBound` is the hot path in the classic Hindley-Milner constraint accumulation
|
||||
loop: for every call argument, every type variable gets bounds added. With K
|
||||
constraints per type variable and N type variables, the total cost of all
|
||||
`contains` checks is O(K²×N) instead of O(K×N).
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
```kotlin
|
||||
// TypeBoundsImpl.kt line 31 — was ArrayList<Bound>
|
||||
override val bounds: MutableSet<Bound> = LinkedHashSet()
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`TypeBounds.bounds` interface declares `Collection<Bound>` so this is a
|
||||
drop-in replacement. The `filter` call on line 84 (`bounds.filter { ... }`)
|
||||
works on any `Collection`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Impact
|
||||
|
||||
- Every generic function call in Kotlin source triggers constraint accumulation
|
||||
- Projects with large call graphs (ktor, coroutines, Arrow) experience O(n²) type
|
||||
inference time proportional to the number of type constraints per call site
|
||||
- The defect is in the classic constraint-based type inference inner loop

# kubernetes-0001: Job pod failure policy — O(n) exit-code set membership per container per rule
|
||||
|
||||
**Target:** kubernetes/kubernetes
|
||||
**File:** `pkg/controller/job/pod_failure_policy.go`
|
||||
**Severity:** MEDIUM
|
||||
**Pattern:** CWE-407 — linear membership test inside a loop
|
||||
|
||||
## Description
|
||||
|
||||
`isOnExitCodesOperatorMatching` calls `slices.Contains(requirement.Values, exitCode)` to check
|
||||
whether a container exit code matches an `In` or `NotIn` policy rule. `requirement.Values` is an
|
||||
unsorted `[]int32` slice; every call performs an O(V) linear scan.
|
||||
|
||||
This function is called from `getMatchingContainerFromList`, which iterates over every container
|
||||
status in a pod — meaning every failing pod triggers O(C × R × V) work, where:
|
||||
|
||||
- C = number of containers in the pod
|
||||
- R = number of `OnExitCodes` rules in the policy
|
||||
- V = number of values in a rule's `Values` list
|
||||
|
||||
In large batch jobs with many containers and complex failure policies this degrades to O(n²) per
|
||||
pod failure event processed by the job controller.
|
||||
|
||||
## Call chain
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
managedJob (job_controller.go)
|
||||
→ matchPodFailurePolicy (pod_failure_policy.go:44)
|
||||
→ matchOnExitCodes (pod_failure_policy.go:86)
|
||||
→ getMatchingContainerFromList (pod_failure_policy.go:107)
|
||||
→ isOnExitCodesOperatorMatching (pod_failure_policy.go:123)
|
||||
→ slices.Contains(requirement.Values, exitCode) ← O(V) each call
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Slow path
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
// O(V) per container per rule — called inside for _, containerStatus := range containerStatuses
|
||||
func isOnExitCodesOperatorMatching(exitCode int32, requirement *...) bool {
|
||||
switch requirement.Operator {
|
||||
case ..OpIn:
|
||||
return slices.Contains(requirement.Values, exitCode) // LINEAR
|
||||
case ..OpNotIn:
|
||||
return !slices.Contains(requirement.Values, exitCode) // LINEAR
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Sort `requirement.Values` once at admission time (already validated as non-empty) and use
|
||||
`sort.SearchInt32s` / binary search at match time: O(log V). Alternatively, build a
|
||||
`map[int32]struct{}` from `Values` once and reuse it throughout the rule evaluation — O(1) per
|
||||
lookup, O(V) build amortised across all containers.

# kubernetes-0002: Garbage collector — O(n) UID membership scan inside owner-reference loop
|
||||
|
||||
**Target:** kubernetes/kubernetes
|
||||
**File:** `pkg/controller/garbagecollector/patch.go`
|
||||
**Severity:** LOW-MEDIUM
|
||||
**Pattern:** CWE-407 — linear membership test inside a loop
|
||||
|
||||
## Description
|
||||
|
||||
`deleteOwnerRefJSONMergePatch` iterates over all owner references on an object and for each one
|
||||
calls `slices.Contains(ownerUIDs, ref.UID)` to decide whether to keep the reference.
|
||||
`ownerUIDs` is a variadic `[]types.UID` slice; `slices.Contains` scans it linearly every
|
||||
iteration.
|
||||
|
||||
Complexity: O(refs × ownerUIDs). In large clusters where objects have many owner references —
|
||||
e.g. in garbage-collection cycles triggered by multi-owner CRDs or aggregated resources — this is
|
||||
O(n²) over (refs, uids).
|
||||
|
||||
## Slow path
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
refs := accessor.GetOwnerReferences()
|
||||
for _, ref := range refs {
|
||||
if !slices.Contains(ownerUIDs, ref.UID) { // O(ownerUIDs) each iteration
|
||||
expectedObjectMeta.OwnerReferences = append(...)
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Build a `map[types.UID]struct{}` from `ownerUIDs` before the loop — O(U) build, O(1) per lookup:
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
uidSet := make(map[types.UID]struct{}, len(ownerUIDs))
|
||||
for _, uid := range ownerUIDs {
|
||||
uidSet[uid] = struct{}{}
|
||||
}
|
||||
for _, ref := range refs {
|
||||
if _, drop := uidSet[ref.UID]; !drop {

expectedObjectMeta.OwnerReferences = append(...)

# linkerd2-0001: federatedService.update() slices.Contains O(n) inside loop → O(n²) dedup
|
||||
|
||||
**Target:** linkerd/linkerd2
|
||||
**Severity:** MEDIUM
|
||||
**CWE:** CWE-407 (Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity)
|
||||
**File:** `controller/api/destination/federated_service_watcher.go`
|
||||
**Status:** PATCHED
|
||||
|
||||
## Description
|
||||
|
||||
`federatedService.update()` computes the diff between the old and new
|
||||
`remoteDiscovery` slices by calling `slices.Contains` inside two separate
|
||||
`for range` loops. Each `slices.Contains` call is O(N) where N = number of
|
||||
remote discovery IDs. With N IDs in both old and new slices, the diff is
|
||||
O(N²).
|
||||
|
||||
This function is called on every Service update event. In multi-cluster Linkerd
|
||||
deployments with many federated services, each annotation update triggers a
|
||||
full O(N²) scan.
|
||||
|
||||
| Location | Pattern |
|
||||
|----------|---------|
|
||||
| `federated_service_watcher.go:231` | `slices.Contains(fs.remoteDiscovery, id)` inside `for _, id := range newRemoteDiscovery` |
|
||||
| `federated_service_watcher.go:238` | `slices.Contains(newRemoteDiscovery, id)` inside `for _, id := range fs.remoteDiscovery` |
|
||||
| `federated_service_watcher.go:46` | `remoteDiscovery []remoteDiscoveryID` — stored as slice |
|
||||
|
||||
## Root cause
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
// federated_service_watcher.go:229
|
||||
func (fs *federatedService) update(service *corev1.Service) {
|
||||
newRemoteDiscovery := remoteDiscoveryIDs(service, fs.log)
|
||||
|
||||
// O(N²): for each new ID, scan old slice
|
||||
for _, id := range newRemoteDiscovery {
|
||||
if !slices.Contains(fs.remoteDiscovery, id) {
|
||||
...subscribe...
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
// O(N²): for each old ID, scan new slice
|
||||
for _, id := range fs.remoteDiscovery {
|
||||
if !slices.Contains(newRemoteDiscovery, id) {
|
||||
...unsubscribe...
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
fs.remoteDiscovery = newRemoteDiscovery
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
With N=1000 remote discovery IDs, each update event costs ~1,000,000 struct
|
||||
comparisons. In active multi-cluster deployments this runs on every Service
|
||||
reconcile.
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Convert `remoteDiscovery` to a `map[remoteDiscoveryID]struct{}` or use
|
||||
`sets.Set[remoteDiscoveryID]`. Diff becomes O(N).
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
// After fix: O(N) diff using map set
|
||||
func (fs *federatedService) update(service *corev1.Service) {
|
||||
newSet := make(map[remoteDiscoveryID]struct{})
|
||||
for _, id := range remoteDiscoveryIDs(service, fs.log) {
|
||||
newSet[id] = struct{}{}
|
||||
}
|
||||
oldSet := fs.remoteDiscoverySet
|
||||
|
||||
// O(N) adds
|
||||
for id := range newSet {
|
||||
if _, exists := oldSet[id]; !exists {
|
||||
for i := range fs.subscribers { fs.remoteDiscoverySubscribe(...) }
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
// O(N) removes
|
||||
for id := range oldSet {
|
||||
if _, exists := newSet[id]; !exists {
|
||||
for i := range fs.subscribers { fs.remoteDiscoveryUnsubscribe(...) }
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
fs.remoteDiscoverySet = newSet
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Ops/ns numbers (Java benchmark)
|
||||
|
||||
See `defects/linkerd2/unit/Linkerd2Test.java`.
|
||||
At N=1000 IDs: slow ~1,000,000 ops, fast ~2,000 ops → >100× speedup.

# linux-0001: audit_filter_inodes — O(F²R) names_list re-scan per syscall
|
||||
|
||||
**File:** `kernel/auditsc.c`
|
||||
**Severity:** HIGH — triggered on every syscall that touches audited inodes
|
||||
**CWE:** CWE-407 (Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity)
|
||||
|
||||
## Call Chain
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
audit_filter_inodes() // called at syscall exit
|
||||
list_for_each_entry(n, ctx->names_list) // O(F) — files touched by syscall
|
||||
audit_filter_inode_name(tsk, n, ctx)
|
||||
__audit_filter_op(tsk, ctx, inode_hash[h], name=n, op)
|
||||
list_for_each_entry_rcu(e, inode_hash[h]) // O(R/B) — rules in bucket
|
||||
audit_filter_rules(tsk, e->rule, ctx, name=n, ...)
|
||||
for (i < field_count) // O(fields per rule)
|
||||
case AUDIT_INODE:
|
||||
case AUDIT_DEVMAJOR:
|
||||
case AUDIT_DEVMINOR:
|
||||
case AUDIT_OBJ_UID:
|
||||
case AUDIT_OBJ_GID:
|
||||
case AUDIT_OBJ_USER:
|
||||
if (!name) {
|
||||
list_for_each_entry(n, ctx->names_list) // O(F) again
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`audit_filter_rules` is called with the current `name` pointer (non-NULL), so the
|
||||
inner `ctx->names_list` re-scan at lines 572–624 is guarded by `else if (ctx)`.
|
||||
|
||||
However `audit_filter_syscall` invokes `__audit_filter_op(..., name=NULL, ...)` over the
|
||||
`AUDIT_FILTER_EXIT` list — a flat list, not the inode hash. For every rule in that list
|
||||
whose fields include `AUDIT_INODE`, `AUDIT_DEVMAJOR`, or the object ownership types, the
|
||||
inner `list_for_each_entry(n, ctx->names_list)` fires unconditionally:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
audit_filter_syscall()
|
||||
__audit_filter_op(tsk, ctx, &audit_filter_list[AUDIT_FILTER_EXIT], name=NULL, op)
|
||||
list_for_each_entry_rcu(e, list) // O(R) rules
|
||||
audit_filter_rules(..., name=NULL) // inner names_list scan O(F) per inode-field
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Total per-syscall cost: **O(R × fields × F)** where R = audit rules on EXIT list,
|
||||
F = files touched per syscall. For a process that opens many files under a
|
||||
directory audit watch (e.g., recursive compiler invocation), both R and F grow
|
||||
independently and the product becomes dominant.
|
||||
|
||||
## Reproducing the Quadratic Growth
|
||||
|
||||
A process issuing N `open()` calls under an `auditctl -w /path -p rwxa` watch triggers
|
||||
O(N × R) comparisons. With 100 audit rules and a syscall touching 100 files,
|
||||
that is 10,000 comparisons instead of 200.
|
||||
|
||||
## Root Cause
|
||||
|
||||
`audit_filter_rules()` cannot match a specific field value against "any file in ctx"
|
||||
without re-walking `ctx->names_list`. Because it is called per-rule rather than
|
||||
per-name, and both R and F are unbounded, the combination is O(R × F).
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Two complementary approaches:
|
||||
|
||||
**A. Pass name=current_n from audit_filter_inodes path** (already done — correct).
|
||||
The audit_filter_syscall path should similarly avoid the O(F) inner scan by
|
||||
only checking rules that carry per-name field types via the inode hash, not the
|
||||
flat EXIT list.
|
||||
|
||||
**B. For the EXIT list path** (audit_filter_syscall): pre-compute a per-context
|
||||
bitset of observed dev/ino values into the audit_context at name-collection time.
|
||||
Rules with AUDIT_INODE/AUDIT_DEVMAJOR etc. can then be checked in O(1) via
|
||||
bitset membership rather than rescanning names_list.
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
/* In struct audit_context, add: */
|
||||
struct {
|
||||
unsigned long ino_mask[BITS_TO_LONGS(AUDIT_INODE_BUCKETS)];
|
||||
u32 devmajor_set[4]; /* sparse bitset for seen majors */
|
||||
} fast_filter;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Set bits at `__audit_inode()` time; check bits in `audit_filter_rules()` before
|
||||
the `list_for_each_entry` fallback.
|
||||
|
||||
## Impact
|
||||
|
||||
- Every `open(2)` / `openat(2)` under a directory watch runs O(R×F) comparisons.
|
||||
- Compiler invocations (gcc, clang) touch hundreds of headers → audit load spikes.
|
||||
- Scales linearly with both rule count and file count — O(n²) in the worst case.

|
||||
__set_bit(i, inuse);

||||
}
|
||||
i = find_first_zero_bit(inuse, max_netdevices);
|
||||
/* ... */
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Complexity
|
||||
|
||||
| Variable | Meaning |
|
||||
|----------|---------|
|
||||
| D | Number of net devices in the namespace |
|
||||
| A | Number of alternative names per device |
|
||||
|
||||
Total work per call: **O(D × A × sscanf_cost)**.
|
||||
|
||||
`sscanf` with a format containing `%d` is not O(1); it involves format string parsing.
|
||||
Container-heavy hosts (Kubernetes nodes) routinely carry D=500+ veth/bridge/vlan
|
||||
devices, each with 1-3 alt names from `ip link property add`.
|
||||
|
||||
## When Triggered
|
||||
|
||||
- `ip link add vethN type veth` in a pod namespace — creates two interfaces,
|
||||
both call `dev_alloc_name()` with format `"veth%d"`.
|
||||
- A node creating 100 pods triggers 200 calls; if D=400 devices already exist
|
||||
with A=2 alt names, each call walks 800 entries.
|
||||
- Batch pod launches show O(D²) total work as D grows.
|
||||
|
||||
## Root Cause
|
||||
|
||||
The bitmap approach is correct for the final `find_first_zero_bit`, but the bitmap
|
||||
is populated by rescanning all devices + alt names on every call. The primary
|
||||
device name already uses the hash (`dev_name_hash`), but alt names bypass the hash
|
||||
and fall into the linear `netdev_for_each_altname` walk.
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Maintain a sorted or hash-keyed index of all allocated numeric suffixes per name
|
||||
prefix. On device/altname registration, insert the suffix into the prefix's free
|
||||
map; on deregistration, remove it. `__dev_alloc_name` then does one map lookup
|
||||
to find the first free slot in O(log D) or O(1) amortized.
|
||||
|
||||
Simpler interim fix: skip the `netdev_for_each_altname` inner loop when counting
|
||||
in-use slots for the primary name format, since alt names use different formats
|
||||
(verified by `netdev_name_node_alt_create` — alt names are explicit strings, not
|
||||
`%d` patterns). Add a guard:
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
netdev_for_each_altname(d, name_node) {
|
||||
/* Alt names created via 'ip link property add' are never %d patterns;
|
||||
* skip sscanf unless the alt name could plausibly match. */
|
||||
if (!memchr(name_node->name, '0' + (i % 10), IFNAMSIZ))
|
||||
continue; /* fast reject — not numeric */
|
||||
/* ... existing sscanf logic ... */
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Full fix: maintain per-prefix bitmaps in a global xarray keyed by name prefix hash.
|
||||
|
||||
## Impact
|
||||
|
||||
- O(D×A) work per interface creation; D and A both grow with container density.
|
||||
- On a Kubernetes node with 500 pods: ~1000 devices × 2 alt names = 2000 sscanf
|
||||
calls per new pod creation, versus O(1) with an index.
|
||||
- Multiplied by pod churn rate (100/min), this is 200,000 sscanf calls/min.

# linux-0003: lookup_neigh_parms — O(P) linear scan by ifindex on every netlink neigh table op
|
||||
|
||||
**File:** `net/core/neighbour.c`
|
||||
**Function:** `lookup_neigh_parms()` (line ~1752)
|
||||
**Severity:** MEDIUM — triggered on every `ip neigh` operation and ARP/NDP table config
|
||||
**CWE:** CWE-407 (Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity)
|
||||
|
||||
## Code
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
static inline struct neigh_parms *lookup_neigh_parms(struct neigh_table *tbl,
|
||||
struct net *net,
|
||||
int ifindex)
|
||||
{
|
||||
struct neigh_parms *p;
|
||||
|
||||
list_for_each_entry(p, &tbl->parms_list, list) { // O(P) linear scan
|
||||
if ((p->dev && p->dev->ifindex == ifindex &&
|
||||
net_eq(neigh_parms_net(p), net)) ||
|
||||
(!p->dev && !ifindex && net_eq(net, &init_net)))
|
||||
return p;
|
||||
}
|
||||
return NULL;
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`tbl->parms_list` holds one `neigh_parms` per network device that has joined the
|
||||
neighbour table. In environments with many network devices (bridges, VLANs, VxLAN
|
||||
tunnels, bond members), this list grows to O(D) entries.
|
||||
|
||||
## Complexity
|
||||
|
||||
| Variable | Meaning |
|
||||
|----------|---------|
|
||||
| P | Length of tbl->parms_list — one entry per netdev registered with this neigh_table |
|
||||
|
||||
`lookup_neigh_parms` is called from `neigh_table_set_key()` (netlink path) whenever
|
||||
`ip neigh change`, `ip neigh add`, or `ip ntable change` is issued. On a host
|
||||
with D=300 network interfaces (common in VxLAN fabrics), each such command walks
|
||||
300 parms entries.
|
||||
|
||||
## When Triggered
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
ip ntable change name arp dev eth0 # calls lookup_neigh_parms O(P)
|
||||
ip neigh change 192.168.1.1 dev eth0 ... # calls neigh_lookup + parms lookup
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Automation scripts that reconfigure neighbour parameters across many interfaces
|
||||
(e.g., setting `base_reachable_time` for all VTEP devices) issue O(D) netlink
|
||||
commands, each doing an O(D) scan → O(D²) total.
|
||||
|
||||
## Root Cause
|
||||
|
||||
`parms_list` is a flat linked list ordered by insertion. Lookup by `ifindex` is
|
||||
O(P) because there is no secondary index.
|
||||
|
||||
The natural key for `neigh_parms` is `(net, ifindex)`. An xarray keyed by ifindex
|
||||
within each `net` provides O(1) lookup with no extra memory per entry.
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Replace the `parms_list` linear search with an xarray stored in `struct neigh_table`:
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
/* In struct neigh_table (include/net/neighbour.h): */
|
||||
struct xarray parms_xa; /* keyed by ifindex, value = neigh_parms * */
|
||||
struct list_head parms_list; /* keep for iteration (GC, sysctl dumps) */
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
/* neigh_parms_alloc: */
|
||||
xa_store(&tbl->parms_xa, p->dev ? p->dev->ifindex : 0, p, GFP_KERNEL);
|
||||
|
||||
/* lookup_neigh_parms replacement: */
|
||||
static inline struct neigh_parms *lookup_neigh_parms(struct neigh_table *tbl,
|
||||
struct net *net,
|
||||
int ifindex)
|
||||
{
|
||||
struct neigh_parms *p = xa_load(&tbl->parms_xa, ifindex);
|
||||
if (p && net_eq(neigh_parms_net(p), net))
|
||||
return p;
|
||||
return NULL;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
/* neigh_parms_release: */
|
||||
xa_erase(&tbl->parms_xa, p->dev ? p->dev->ifindex : 0);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The `parms_list` is retained for the GC timer path (`neigh_periodic_work`) which
|
||||
iterates all parms to call `neigh_set_reach_time`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Impact
|
||||
|
||||
- O(D) per netlink command; O(D²) for configuration scripts covering all devices.
|
||||
- On a VxLAN gateway with 500 VTEPs: 500 parms entries × 500 commands = 250,000
|
||||
list-node comparisons per configuration pass.
|
||||
- With xarray: 500 commands × O(1) = 500 xa_load calls.

## Description
|

`JoystickModule::getJoystickFromID(int instanceid)` performs an O(n) linear scan of

`activeSticks` (a `std::vector<Joystick*>`) to find a joystick by its SDL instance ID.
|

# lua-0001: searchupvalue() O(n) linear scan per variable reference during compilation
|
||||
|
||||
**Target:** lua/lua
|
||||
**Severity:** LOW-MEDIUM
|
||||
**CWE:** CWE-407 (Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity)
|
||||
**File:** `lparser.c` — `searchupvalue()` (~line 360), called from `singlevaraux()`
|
||||
**Status:** PATCHED
|
||||
|
||||
## Description
|
||||
|
||||
During Lua compilation, every reference to a variable name goes through
|
||||
`singlevaraux()` → `searchupvalue()`. `searchupvalue()` performs a linear scan
|
||||
of the `FuncState.f->upvalues` array (up to `MAXUPVAL` = 255 entries) to find
|
||||
an existing upvalue with the given name. A function with many upvalues that
|
||||
references them frequently (e.g. in a tight inner loop body) pays O(n) per
|
||||
reference at compile time. With M references and N upvalues: O(M × N).
|
||||
|
||||
Lua limits upvalues to 255 per function (`MAXUPVAL`), so the worst-case scan
|
||||
length is bounded, but the constant is large: 255 × (number of variable
|
||||
references in body). A deeply nested function closure with 200 upvalues and a
|
||||
loop body with 500 variable references performs ~100,000 string pointer
|
||||
comparisons at compile time.
|
||||
|
||||
## Root cause
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
/* lparser.c ~360 */
|
||||
static int searchupvalue (FuncState *fs, TString *name) {
|
||||
int i;
|
||||
Upvaldesc *up = fs->f->upvalues;
|
||||
for (i = 0; i < fs->nups; i++) { /* O(n) linear scan */
|
||||
if (eqstr(up[i].name, name)) return i;
|
||||
}
|
||||
return -1;
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`eqstr` is a pointer comparison (Lua interns all strings), so each iteration is
|
||||
cheap, but the scan still walks the entire upvalue list.
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Add a small hash map (`TString* → upvalue index`) to `FuncState`, populated in
|
||||
`newupvalue()`. `searchupvalue()` becomes a single hash lookup.
|
||||
|
||||
Since `FuncState` is stack-allocated during parsing, a fixed-size open-address
|
||||
table (power-of-two slots, 256 entries) fits without heap allocation:
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
/* In FuncState (lparser.h): */
|
||||
int upval_map[256]; /* slot → upvalue index; -1 = empty */
|
||||
|
||||
/* newupvalue(): after allocating */
|
||||
int slot = luaO_str2num(name) & 255; /* or name->hash & 255 */
|
||||
/* linear probe on collision */
|
||||
upval_map[slot] = fs->nups - 1;
|
||||
|
||||
/* searchupvalue(): */
|
||||
static int searchupvalue (FuncState *fs, TString *name) {
|
||||
int slot = name->hash & 255;
|
||||
/* probe up to 8 slots */
|
||||
for (int probe = 0; probe < 8; probe++, slot = (slot+1)&255) {
|
||||
int idx = fs->upval_map[slot];
|
||||
if (idx < 0) return -1;
|
||||
if (eqstr(fs->f->upvalues[idx].name, name)) return idx;
|
||||
}
|
||||
return searchupvalue_fallback(fs, name); /* full scan on overflow */
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Ops numbers (Java benchmark)
|
||||
|
||||
See `defects/lua/unit/LuaTest.java` (bench label "searchupvalue").
|
||||
At N=200 upvalues, M=500 references: slow ~100,000 comparisons, fast ~500 → 200× speedup.

# mariadb-0001 — setup_order/setup_group: O(ORDER × SELECT) find_item_in_list quadratic
|
||||
|
||||
**Target:** MariaDB/server
|
||||
**Severity:** HIGH
|
||||
**CWE:** CWE-407 (Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity)
|
||||
**Files:**
|
||||
- `sql/sql_select.cc` lines 28873–28876 (`setup_order`)

|
||||
**Status:** PATCHED
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Defect
|
||||
|
||||
Both `setup_order()` and `setup_group()` iterate over the ORDER BY / GROUP BY
|
||||
item linked list and for each item call `find_order_in_list()` (lines 28875,
|
||||
28952), which itself calls `find_item_in_list()` — a linear O(S) walk over
|
||||
`List<Item> &fields` (the SELECT list) implemented at `sql/sql_base.cc:7175`.
|
||||
|
||||
This gives **O(O × S)** complexity where O = number of ORDER/GROUP BY columns
|
||||
and S = number of SELECT columns. For a query with 100 ORDER BY expressions
|
||||
and a 100-column SELECT list this is 10 000 string comparisons per query
|
||||
parse/resolution pass.
|
||||
|
||||
`find_item_in_list` uses `List_iterator<Item>` (a singly-linked list iterator)
|
||||
so there is no random access and no shortcut — every call scans from the
|
||||
head.
|
||||
|
||||
The same `find_item_in_list` is also called from `setup_new_fields()`
|
||||
(line 29062) in a loop over a new-fields linked list, compounding the issue
|
||||
for INSERT ... SELECT or multi-table updates with many expressions.
|
||||
|
||||
## Root Cause
|
||||
|
||||
`List<Item>` (MariaDB's intrusive linked list) has no index. Resolving ORDER
|
||||
BY / GROUP BY positions against the SELECT list requires a name lookup, and
|
||||
the current code rebuilds this O(S) walk for every ORDER/GROUP item without
|
||||
caching a name→position map.
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Before the `for` loop in `setup_order` and `setup_group`, build a
|
||||
`std::unordered_map<std::string, uint>` mapping field name to SELECT-list
|
||||
position. Each `find_order_in_list` call can then resolve positional and
|
||||
name-based references in O(1) instead of O(S).

||||

||||

||||
## Defect
|
||||
|
||||
`setup_new_fields()` iterates a linked list of `new_field` ORDER objects
|
||||
(line 29060) and for each calls `find_item_in_list(*new_field->item, fields, ...)`
|
||||
(line 29062) — an O(S) linear scan over the SELECT list.
|
||||
|
||||
This gives **O(N × S)** complexity where N = length of the new-fields list
|
||||
and S = SELECT-list size. In multi-table UPDATE or INSERT ... SELECT with
|
||||
many computed columns, both N and S can reach the hundreds.
|
||||
|
||||
## Root Cause
|
||||
|
||||
Same root cause as mariadb-0001: `List<Item>` has no hash index and
|
||||
`find_item_in_list` always walks from the head.
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Build the same `unordered_map<string, uint>` name→position index that
|
||||
mariadb-0001's fix introduces for `setup_order`/`setup_group`, and reuse it
|
||||
in `setup_new_fields`. If the callers are separate, build the map locally
|

at the top of `setup_new_fields`.

|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Description
|
||||
`calculateLifecycleMappings()` is called once per lifecycle phase per mojo execution during plan
|
||||
calculation. On every invocation it calls `List.of(DefaultLifecycles.STANDARD_LIFECYCLES)` —
|
||||
allocating a new 3-element `List` — then calls `.contains()` on it, scanning linearly.
|
||||
`STANDARD_LIFECYCLES` is the static array `{"clean", "default", "site"}`.
|
||||
|
||||
The defect is twofold:
|
||||
1. A new `List` object is heap-allocated on every call.
|
||||
2. Linear scan over the list instead of O(1) set membership.
|
||||
|
||||
For a multi-module Maven build with M modules and N mojos per lifecycle, this executes M × N times.

# memcached-0001: slabs_clsid() O(n) linear scan over sorted array
|
||||
|
||||
**Target:** memcached/memcached
|
||||
**Severity:** MEDIUM
|
||||
**CWE:** CWE-407 (Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity)
|
||||
**File:** `slabs.c:77` (`slabs_clsid`)
|
||||
**Status:** PATCHED
|
||||
|
||||
## Description
|
||||
|
||||
`slabs_clsid(size_t size)` finds the smallest slab class whose chunk size
|
||||
accommodates the requested allocation. The slab class array (`slabclass[]`) is
|
||||
sorted in ascending order of `size`. The current implementation walks it
|
||||
linearly with a `while` loop.
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
unsigned int slabs_clsid(const size_t size) {
|
||||
int res = POWER_SMALLEST;
|
||||
if (size == 0 || size > settings.item_size_max)
|
||||
return 0;
|
||||
while (size > slabclass[res].size)
|
||||
if (res++ == power_largest)
|
||||
return power_largest;
|
||||
return res;
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`power_largest` reaches up to 63 (MAX_NUMBER_OF_SLAB_CLASSES − 1 = 63).
|
||||
Binary search over a sorted array of 63 entries requires at most 6 comparisons
|
||||
(⌈log₂(63)⌉ = 6) vs. up to 63 comparisons in the linear case — a ~10× speedup.
|
||||
|
||||
`slabs_clsid` is called on **every item allocation**:
|
||||
- `do_item_alloc` — called for every `SET` / `ADD` / `REPLACE` / `APPEND` /
|
||||
`PREPEND` / `CAS` command
|
||||
- `do_item_alloc_chunk` — called per chunk of large items
|
||||
- `item_store_check` — called during `SET` pre-validation
|
||||
|
||||
Under high write throughput this is a hot path: a 200k SET/s workload calls
|
||||
`slabs_clsid` ~200,000 times per second.
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Replace the `while` loop with a binary search over `slabclass[1..power_largest]`:
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
unsigned int slabs_clsid(const size_t size) {
|
||||
if (size == 0 || size > settings.item_size_max)
|
||||
return 0;
|
||||
int lo = POWER_SMALLEST, hi = power_largest;
|
||||
while (lo < hi) {
|
||||
int mid = lo + (hi - lo) / 2;
|
||||
if (slabclass[mid].size < size)
|
||||
lo = mid + 1;
|
||||
else
|
||||
hi = mid;
|
||||
}
|
||||
return lo;
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This is safe because `slabclass[].size` is strictly monotonically increasing
|
||||
(guaranteed by the `slabs_init` construction loop).
|
||||
|
||||
See patch: `defects/memcached/patch/0001-slabs-clsid-binary-search.patch`
|
||||
|
||||
## Ops ratio (unit test)
|
||||
|
||||
63 slab classes, query for the largest size:
|
||||
- slow ops: 63 (linear scan)
|
||||
- fast ops: 6 (binary search, ⌈log₂(63)⌉)
|
||||
- speedup: **10.5×**

# mongodb-0001: RelevantTag first/notFirst vector linear membership scan
|
||||
|
||||
**Target:** mongodb/mongo
|
||||
**File:** `src/mongo/db/query/index_tag.h`,
|
||||
`src/mongo/db/query/planner_ixselect.cpp`
|
||||
**Severity:** MEDIUM
|
||||
**Pattern:** CWE-407 — O(n) membership test inside loop → O(n²)
|
||||
|
||||
## Description
|
||||
|
||||
`RelevantTag` (used during index selection in the query planner) stores the set
|
||||
of index IDs that can satisfy a predicate in two `std::vector<size_t>` fields:
|
||||
`first` (leading-field indices) and `notFirst` (non-leading-field indices).
|
||||
|
||||
Three functions in `planner_ixselect.cpp` perform O(n) linear `std::find` scans
|
||||
on these vectors inside loops over AST children:
|
||||
|
||||
- `isIndexAssigned()` — called while stripping invalid compound-wildcard index
|
||||
assignments (loop over children × `std::find` on `first`/`notFirst`)
|
||||
- `stripInvalidAssignmentsToTextIndex()` — loop over AND children × `std::find`
|
||||
on `first`/`notFirst`
|
||||
- `removeIndexRelevantTag()` — called from several strip-invalid loops ×
|
||||
`std::find` + `erase` on `first`/`notFirst`
|
||||
|
||||
A query with P predicates each tagged with I candidate indices executes
|
||||
O(P × I) linear probes → **O(P·I²)** total work for the strip passes.
|
||||
|
||||
## Reproduction
|
||||
|
||||
A compound text or 2dsphere query with many predicates and many applicable
|
||||
indices triggers repeated `stripInvalidAssignments*` calls. Each call does
|
||||
O(predicates × indices) linear scans over the tag vectors.
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Change `RelevantTag::first` and `RelevantTag::notFirst` from
|
||||
`std::vector<size_t>` to `std::unordered_set<size_t>`. Membership tests
|
||||
become O(1); iteration and copy semantics remain the same.
|
||||
|
||||
See `defects/mongodb/patch/0001.patch`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Complexity
|
||||
|
||||
| Operation | Before | After |
|
||||
|-----------|--------|-------|
|
||||
| membership test (`isIndexAssigned`) | O(n) | O(1) |
|
||||
| `removeIndexRelevantTag` | O(n) search + O(n) erase | O(1) each |
|
||||
| strip pass total | O(P·I) | O(P) |

# mysql-0001 — SHOW GRANTS USING: O(R²) role membership scan
|
||||
|
||||
**Target:** mysql/mysql-server
|
||||
**Severity:** HIGH
|
||||
**CWE:** CWE-407 (Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity)
|
||||
**File:** `sql/auth/sql_authorization.cc`
|
||||
**Lines:** 4875–4898
|
||||
**Status:** PATCHED
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Defect
|
||||
|
||||
`mysql_show_grants()` validates a `SHOW GRANTS ... USING <role_list>` statement
|
||||
by iterating every role in `using_roles` (outer loop, line 4880) and for each
|
||||
calling `std::find` on `granted_roles` — a `std::vector<std::pair<Role_id,bool>>`
|
||||
(line 4882) — and then `std::find_if` on `mandatory_roles` — also a `std::vector`
|
||||
(line 4884).
|
||||
|
||||
Both inner searches are O(G) and O(M) respectively, giving a total complexity of
|
||||
**O(U × (G + M))** where U = `|using_roles|`, G = `|granted_roles|`, M =
|
||||
`|mandatory_roles|`.
|
||||
|
||||
When a user has many granted roles (e.g. in an RBAC-heavy application with
|
||||
hundreds of roles, or the mandatory-roles list is long), every
|
||||
`SHOW GRANTS ... USING` call burns O(n²) CPU inside the privilege validator.
|
||||
This path is also reached on every `SET ROLE` + implicit SHOW which means
|
||||
application-tier connection pooling can trigger it on every checkout.
|
||||
|
||||
## Root Cause
|
||||
|
||||
`List_of_granted_roles` is `std::vector<std::pair<Role_id, bool>>` (defined in
|
||||
`sql/auth/auth_internal.h:268`). No hash index is built before the loop.
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Build an `unordered_set` of the `authid` strings from `granted_roles` and a
|
||||
parallel `unordered_set` from `mandatory_roles` before the outer loop.
|
||||
Membership is then O(1) per lookup.

||||

||||

- Fast (unordered_set): ~O(n), speedup ≥ 10× at n=500

# mysql-0002 — has_global_grant: O(P) linear privilege scan in ACL-map fallback
|
||||
|
||||
**Target:** mysql/mysql-server
|
||||
**Severity:** MEDIUM
|
||||
**CWE:** CWE-407 (Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity)
|

|

**Line:** 737
|

**Status:** PATCHED

|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Defect
|
||||
|
||||
`Security_context::has_global_grant(const char *, size_t)` contains two paths
|
||||
for checking dynamic privileges:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Fast path** (line 743–747): when `m_acl_map != nullptr`, uses
|
||||
`unordered_map::find` — O(1).
|
||||
2. **Slow path** (line 735–740): when `m_acl_map == nullptr` (e.g. during
|
||||
bootstrap, after ACL reload, or in edge-case threaded scenarios), calls
|
||||
`get_dynamic_privileges_map()->equal_range(key)` then
|
||||
`std::find(it, it_end, privilege)` — **O(P)** linear scan over all
|
||||
privileges for this user in the multimap's equal range.
|
||||
|
||||
`User_to_dynamic_privileges_map` is `std::unordered_multimap<Role_id,
|
||||
Grant_privilege>` (defined in `auth_internal.h:316`). The `equal_range`
|
||||
returns all entries for the user (up to P items), and `std::find` walks
|
||||
them linearly comparing `std::pair<string,bool>` against the target privilege
|
||||
string.
|
||||
|
||||
The slow path is hit whenever the security context has not yet loaded its
|
||||
ACL map — this occurs on the first check per connection after a FLUSH
|
||||
PRIVILEGES or during multi-threaded plugin init. In a system with 200 dynamic
|
||||
privileges per user, every check in the slow path costs O(200) string
|
||||
comparisons.
|
||||
|
||||
## Root Cause
|
||||
|
||||
The multimap fallback lacks a local hash index. After `equal_range` the code
|
||||
should use a temporary `unordered_set` or simply switch the inner storage for
|
||||
this user's privileges to a sorted vector so binary_search can be used.
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Replace the `std::find` linear scan with a local `unordered_set<std::string>`
|
||||
built from the equal_range result, then do O(1) lookup. Or prefer
|
||||
`std::find_if` with early exit and add a comment explaining that callers
|
||||
should populate `m_acl_map` to avoid this path.

||||

||||

# nats-0001 — jetstream_cluster: O(n²) slices.Contains in peer-set dedup loop
|
||||
|
||||
**Target:** nats-io/nats-server
|
||||
**File:** `server/jetstream_cluster.go`
|
||||
**Function:** stream update/move handler (jsStreamUpdateRequest path)
|
||||
**Severity:** MEDIUM
|
||||
**CWE:** CWE-407 (Algorithmic Complexity — Quadratic Membership Test)
|
||||
**Status:** PATCHED
|
||||
|
||||
## Defect
|
||||
|
||||
During a JetStream stream move operation, existing peers are deduplicated against a new
|
||||
peer group using a nested scan:
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
// filter peers present in both sets
|
||||
for _, peer := range rg.Peers {
|
||||
if !slices.Contains(nrg.Peers, peer) {
|
||||
peerSet = append(peerSet, peer)
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
peerSet = append(peerSet, nrg.Peers...)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`rg.Peers` and `nrg.Peers` are `[]string` slices. `slices.Contains` is O(|nrg.Peers|).
|
||||
The outer loop runs O(|rg.Peers|) times. Total: **O(|rg.Peers| × |nrg.Peers|)**.
|
||||
|
||||
In a large JetStream cluster (hundreds of streams, many replicas), this is called once per
|
||||
stream move/scale operation and degrades quadratically with replica count and peer count.
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Build a set from `nrg.Peers` before the loop:
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
// filter peers present in both sets
|
||||
nrgPeerSet := make(map[string]struct{}, len(nrg.Peers))
|
||||
for _, p := range nrg.Peers {
|
||||
nrgPeerSet[p] = struct{}{}
|
||||
}
|
||||
for _, peer := range rg.Peers {
|
||||
if _, ok := nrgPeerSet[peer]; !ok {
|
||||
peerSet = append(peerSet, peer)
|
||||
}

}

# nginx-0001: ngx_http_upstream_cache_get linear cache-zone name scan
|
||||
|
||||
**Target:** nginx
|
||||
**File:** `src/http/ngx_http_upstream.c`
|
||||
**Function:** `ngx_http_upstream_cache_get`
|
||||
**Lines:** 1058–1069
|
||||
**Severity:** MEDIUM
|
||||
**CWE:** CWE-407 (Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity)
|
||||
|
||||
## Description
|
||||
|
||||
When a proxy_cache directive uses a variable (`$variable`) rather than a literal
|
||||
zone name, nginx resolves the zone on every request by walking the `u->caches`
|
||||
array with `ngx_strncmp` comparisons. With N configured cache zones and R
|
||||
requests per second the total work is O(N × R).
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
caches = u->caches->elts;
|
||||
|
||||
for (i = 0; i < u->caches->nelts; i++) {
|
||||
name = &caches[i]->shm_zone->shm.name;
|
||||
|
||||
if (name->len == val.len
|
||||
&& ngx_strncmp(name->data, val.data, val.len) == 0)
|
||||
{
|
||||
*cache = caches[i];
|
||||
return NGX_OK;
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Impact
|
||||
|
||||
- Real-world configs with multiple cache zones (e.g. tiered caching, per-vhost
|
||||
zones) make this a hot O(N) scan on every cacheable proxy request.
|
||||
- N is bounded by the number of `proxy_cache_zone` directives (typically 2–8),
|
||||
but the scan repeats for every request where `proxy_cache` is a variable.
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Build a hash map from zone name → `ngx_http_file_cache_t *` at configuration
|
||||
time. At request time use `ngx_hash_find` (O(1)) instead of the linear scan.
|
||||
The map key is the shm zone name (ASCII, lowercase-normalizable).

|
||||
|
||||
## Symptom
|
||||
On every `CreateShard` event, `ShardManager.doCreateShard()` calls
|
||||
`currentSnapshot.getShardList().contains(shardName)` to check whether the shard was
|
||||
present in the recovered snapshot. `getShardList()` returns an `ImmutableList<String>`.
|
||||
With S shards in the snapshot, this is O(S) per shard creation. During cluster recovery
|
||||
with hundreds of shards, every shard recreation pays O(S) to check membership in the
|
||||
snapshot — O(S²) total across all creations.
|
||||
|
||||
## Root cause
|
||||
```java
|
||||
// ShardManagerSnapshot.java:31
|
||||
public List<String> getShardList() {
|
||||
return shardList; // ImmutableList — O(n) contains
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// ShardManager.java:543-544
|
||||
boolean shardWasInRecoveredSnapshot = currentSnapshot != null
|
||||
&& currentSnapshot.getShardList().contains(shardName);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`ImmutableList.contains()` is O(n) array scan.
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
Change `shardList` storage in `ShardManagerSnapshot` to `ImmutableSet<String>`. Rename
|
||||
`getShardList()` → `getShardNames()` returning `Set<String>` (or keep both for
|
||||
compatibility). `ImmutableSet.contains()` is O(1).

# onos-0002: PipelineTraceableHitChain addDataPlaneEntity — O(n²) ArrayList membership test
|
||||
|
||||
## Status
|
||||
PATCHED
|
||||
|
||||
## Target
|
||||
opennetworkinglab/onos
|
||||
|
||||
## File
|
||||
`core/api/src/main/java/org/onosproject/net/PipelineTraceableHitChain.java`
|
||||
|
||||
## Symptom
|
||||
`addDataPlaneEntity()` calls `hitChain.contains()` on an `ArrayList<DataPlaneEntity>` before
|
||||
every insert — O(n) linear scan. The method is called inside O(n) loops in
|
||||
`OfdpaPipelineTraceable` (lines 267 and 683), producing O(n²) total work during pipeline
|
||||
trace chain copying. With deep group-bucket trees (typical in OpenFlow 1.3 table-miss
|
||||
chains), hitChain can contain dozens to hundreds of entries. Each `forEach` → `addDataPlaneEntity`
|
||||
copy costs O(n) per element → O(n²) total.
|
||||
|
||||
## Root cause
|
||||
```java
|
||||
// PipelineTraceableHitChain.java:94
|
||||
public void addDataPlaneEntity(DataPlaneEntity dataPlaneEntity) {
|
||||
if (!hitChain.contains(dataPlaneEntity)) { // O(n) ArrayList scan
|
||||
hitChain.add(dataPlaneEntity);
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`hitChain` is declared as `List<DataPlaneEntity>` backed by `ArrayList`. The dedup check
|
||||
is O(n) per call. Callers iterate over the existing chain and call this method once per
|
||||
element — making every chain copy O(n²).
|
||||
|
||||
**Call site example** (OfdpaPipelineTraceable.java:683):
|
||||
```java
|
||||
currentHitChain.hitChain().forEach(newHitChain::addDataPlaneEntity);
|
||||
```
|
||||
With a 50-entry hit chain this issues 50 × 50 = 2500 equality comparisons for a single
|
||||
packet trace.
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
Replace `ArrayList` with `LinkedHashSet` (insertion-ordered set). `contains()` becomes

# onos-0003: DeviceManager RoleInfo.backups() ImmutableList.contains() — O(n) per role event
|
||||
|
||||
## Status
|
||||
PATCHED
|
||||
|
||||
## Target
|
||||
opennetworkinglab/onos
|
||||
|
||||
## File
|
||||
`core/api/src/main/java/org/onosproject/cluster/RoleInfo.java`
|
||||
`core/net/src/main/java/org/onosproject/net/device/impl/DeviceManager.java`
|
||||
|
||||
## Symptom
|
||||
On every mastership role change event, `DeviceManager` checks whether `localNodeId` is in
|
||||
the backup list using `List.contains()` on an `ImmutableList`. With C ONOS cluster nodes,
|
||||
the backup list has up to C-1 entries. In large clusters (10–50 nodes) this is O(C) per
|
||||
device event. With D managed devices, each failover triggers D events — O(D×C) total.
|
||||
|
||||
## Root cause
|
||||
```java
|
||||
// RoleInfo.java:32,36
|
||||
private final List<NodeId> backups;
|
||||
this.backups = ImmutableList.copyOf(backups); // O(n) contains
|
||||
|
||||
// DeviceManager.java:1159
|
||||
} else if (event.roleInfo().backups().contains(localNodeId)) {
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`backups()` returns `ImmutableList<NodeId>` — linear scan backed by an array.
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
Change `backups` to `ImmutableSet<NodeId>`. Order of backup list is not meaningful for
|
||||
membership tests; `ImmutableSet.contains()` is O(1) hash lookup.

# openssl-0001: SSL_get_shared_ciphers — O(n²) cipher intersection via unsorted sk_SSL_CIPHER_find
|
||||
|
||||
**CWE:** CWE-407 (Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity)
|
||||
**Severity:** MEDIUM
|
||||
**Status:** PATCHED
|
||||
**File:** `ssl/ssl_lib.c` — `SSL_get_shared_ciphers()`
|
||||
|
||||
## Defect
|
||||
|
||||
`SSL_get_shared_ciphers()` iterates all client cipher suites (outer loop, O(n)) and for
|
||||
each one calls `sk_SSL_CIPHER_find(srvrsk, c)` on the server cipher stack.
|
||||
|
||||
`sk_SSL_CIPHER_find` → `OPENSSL_sk_find` → `internal_find`: when the stack has no
|
||||
comparator set **or is not sorted**, falls through to a linear scan (`for i = 0; i < st->num`).
|
||||
|
||||
The compare function is intentionally NOT set on `srvrsk` here — the comment in `s3_lib.c`
|
||||
(line 4808) says: "Do not set the compare functions, because this may lead to a reordering
|
||||
by 'id'. We want to keep the original ordering. We may pay a price in performance during
|
||||
sk_SSL_CIPHER_find()."
|
||||
|
||||
Result: **O(n × m)** where n = client cipher count, m = server cipher count.
|
||||
TLS 1.2 supports ~100 cipher suites; hostile clients can send 100 → 10,000 comparisons
|
||||
per `SSL_get_shared_ciphers()` call.
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
// ssl/ssl_lib.c:3618
|
||||
for (i = 0; i < sk_SSL_CIPHER_num(clntsk); i++) { // O(n)
|
||||
c = sk_SSL_CIPHER_value(clntsk, i);
|
||||
if (sk_SSL_CIPHER_find(srvrsk, c) < 0) // O(m) — linear when unsorted
|
||||
continue;
|
||||
...
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Build a `uint32_t` bitset or `LHASH`/hash-set of server cipher IDs before the loop.
|
||||
Membership check becomes O(1); total complexity O(n + m).
|
||||
|
||||
See patch: `defects/openssl/patch/openssl-0001.patch`
|
||||
|
||||
## Hot Path
|
||||
|
||||
Called by diagnostic/logging code and TLS session inspection. Not the negotiation fast path
|
||||
(`ssl_choose_cipher` uses a pre-sorted `cipher_list_by_id`) but still reachable per
|
||||
connection on servers that log shared cipher info.

# openssl-0002: ciphersuite_cb — O(n²) TLS 1.3 cipher list dedup via linear scan
|
||||
|
||||
**CWE:** CWE-407 (Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity)
|
||||
**Severity:** LOW (TLS 1.3 has only 5 standard suites; attack surface is config-time)
|
||||
**Status:** PATCHED
|
||||
**File:** `ssl/ssl_ciph.c` — `ciphersuite_cb()`
|
||||
|
||||
## Defect
|
||||
|
||||
`set_ciphersuites()` parses a colon-separated TLS 1.3 cipher string by calling
|
||||
`CONF_parse_list(..., ciphersuite_cb, newciphers)`. `CONF_parse_list` invokes
|
||||
`ciphersuite_cb` once per token (O(n) outer iterations). Inside the callback, a
|
||||
duplicate-suppression loop scans all already-added ciphers linearly:
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
// ssl/ssl_ciph.c:1250
|
||||
for (int i = 0; i < sk_SSL_CIPHER_num(ciphersuites); ++i) // O(k) inner
|
||||
if (sk_SSL_CIPHER_value(ciphersuites, i)->id == cipher->id)
|
||||
return 1;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
With n tokens this is O(n²) dedup. Today TLS 1.3 has 5 ciphersuites so practical
|
||||
cost is negligible, but the pattern is wrong and will degrade if the list ever grows
|
||||
(e.g. custom/vendor forks, future RFC additions).
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Replace the linear scan with a `uint8_t seen[SSL_MAX_CIPHERS]` bitmask indexed by the
|
||||
cipher's position in the static `tls13_ciphers` table (all IDs are known at compile
|
||||
time). Lookup and mark become O(1).

# openvpn-0001: ncp_get_best_cipher / tls_item_in_cipher_list — O(n²) cipher negotiation
|
||||
|
||||
**CWE:** CWE-407 (Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity)
|
||||
**Severity:** MEDIUM
|
||||
**Status:** PATCHED
|
||||
**File:** `src/openvpn/ssl_ncp.c` — `ncp_get_best_cipher()`, `tls_item_in_cipher_list()`
|
||||
|
||||
## Defect
|
||||
|
||||
`tls_item_in_cipher_list(item, list)` is an O(m) linear scan: it calls `string_alloc`
|
||||
(heap allocation), then `strtok` walks the colon-separated `list` comparing each token
|
||||
with `strcmp`.
|
||||
|
||||
`ncp_get_best_cipher()` (and three other call sites) runs an **outer** `while (strsep)`
|
||||
loop over the server cipher list and calls `tls_item_in_cipher_list` inside:
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
// ssl/ssl_ncp.c:270
|
||||
while ((token = strsep(&tmp_ciphers, ":"))) // O(n) outer
|
||||
{
|
||||
if (tls_item_in_cipher_list(token, peer_ncp_list) // O(m) inner + malloc+free
|
||||
|| streq(token, remote_cipher))
|
||||
break;
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Total: **O(n × m)** comparisons plus O(n) heap allocations per call.
|
||||
This runs at TLS handshake time for every new connection.
|
||||
|
||||
Additional O(n²) call sites (all share the same root cause):
|
||||
- `ssl_ncp.c:388` — `p2p_ncp_get_common_cipher` inner loop
|
||||
- `dco.c:468` — `dco_check_option_conflict` inner loop
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Pre-split `peer_ncp_list` once into a fixed-size set (at most ~20 cipher names).
|
||||
Membership test becomes an O(m) one-time split + O(1) amortized per outer iteration
|
||||
(hash set or sorted array + bsearch). Eliminates repeated `string_alloc`/`strtok`.
|
||||
|
||||
Minimal fix: split once before outer loop, compare against array.
|
||||
|
||||
See patch: `defects/openvpn/patch/openvpn-0001.patch`
|
||||
|
||||
## Impact
|
||||
|
||||
Called once per TLS handshake. With default configs (3–5 ciphers) the cost is trivial,
|
||||
but the structure scales to O(n²) with `--data-ciphers` lists and adversarial peer
|
||||
`IV_CIPHERS` advertisement. Each call also performs unnecessary heap allocation.

# otel-collector-0001: pcommon.Map Put* methods — O(n) Get inside O(n) construction loop
|
||||
|
||||
**Target:** OpenTelemetry Collector (pdata/pcommon)
|
||||
**File:** `pdata/pcommon/map.go`
|
||||
**CWE:** CWE-407 — Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity
|
||||
**Severity:** HIGH
|
||||
**Status:** PATCHED
|
||||
|
||||
## Description
|
||||
|
||||
`pcommon.Map` is backed by a `[]internal.KeyValue` slice (not a hash map). Every
|
||||
mutation method — `PutStr`, `PutInt`, `PutDouble`, `PutBool`, `PutEmpty`,
|
||||
`PutEmptyBytes`, `PutEmptyMap`, `PutEmptySlice`, `GetOrPutEmpty` — begins by
|
||||
calling `m.Get(k)` to check for an existing key. `Get` iterates the entire slice
|
||||
linearly:
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
// map.go line 65-73
|
||||
func (m Map) Get(key string) (Value, bool) {
|
||||
for i := range *m.getOrig() {
|
||||
akv := &(*m.getOrig())[i]
|
||||
if akv.Key == key {
|
||||
return newValue(&akv.Value, m.getState()), true
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
return newValue(nil, m.getState()), false
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// map.go line 138-147 (PutStr — same pattern in all Put* methods)
|
||||
func (m Map) PutStr(k, v string) {
|
||||
if av, existing := m.Get(k); existing { // O(N) scan
|
||||
av.SetStr(v)
|
||||
return
|
||||
}
|
||||
// ... append new entry
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
When pipeline processors, exporters, or the resource-detection subsystem construct
|
||||
or copy a span/metric/log attribute map with N key-value pairs by calling `PutStr`/
|
||||
`PutInt`/… N times, the total cost is **O(N²)**: the k-th Put scans k existing
|
||||
entries.
|
||||
|
||||
This affects every OTLP pipeline that manipulates attributes — resource enrichment,
|
||||
attribute processors, batch partitioning, and debug exporters. Attribute maps with
|
||||
30+ keys (typical for enriched telemetry) spend the majority of their construction
|
||||
time in linear probes.
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Replace the underlying storage with `map[string]*internal.KeyValue` or maintain a
|
||||
parallel `map[string]int` index into the slice. All `Get`/`Put` operations become
|
||||
O(1). The existing `Range`/`All` iteration API remains unchanged since the slice
|
||||
(or a stable ordering derived from it) can still be traversed.
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively, accept the slice representation (required for protobuf compatibility)
|
||||
but add a lazy `map[string]int` cache on first `Get`, invalidated on structural
|
||||
mutations (`Remove`, `RemoveIf`, `EnsureCapacity`).

# ovs-0001: dpif-offload dpif_offload_port_add() — O(P) linear provider scan per port-add
|
||||
|
||||
## Status
|
||||
PATCHED
|
||||
|
||||
## Target
|
||||
openvswitch/ovs
|
||||
|
||||
## File
|
||||
`lib/dpif-offload.c`
|
||||
|
||||
## Symptom
|
||||
`dpif_offload_port_add()` is called for every port added to a datapath. When the
|
||||
`pmd-rxq-affinity` configuration includes a provider priority list, the function executes a
|
||||
`strtok_r` outer loop over priority tokens and an inner `LIST_FOR_EACH` over
|
||||
`collection->list` — comparing each provider name via `strcmp`. With T priority tokens and
|
||||
P offload providers, this is O(T × P) per port. In deployments with 200+ ports and
|
||||
multiple SR-IOV offload providers, this executes tens of thousands of strcmp calls
|
||||
during bring-up.
|
||||
|
||||
Additionally, `provider_collection_add()` (called from `move_provider_to_collection`)
|
||||
performs a full O(P) linear scan through the collection list for duplicate detection.
|
||||
|
||||
## Root cause
|
||||
```c
|
||||
// dpif-offload.c:580-595
|
||||
for (char *name = strtok_r(tokens, ",", &saveptr);
|
||||
name;
|
||||
name = strtok_r(NULL, ",", &saveptr)) {
|
||||
|
||||
LIST_FOR_EACH (offload, dpif_list_node, &collection->list) {
|
||||
if (!strcmp(name, offload->class->type)) { // O(P) per token
|
||||
...
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
And:
|
||||
```c
|
||||
// dpif-offload.c:229-234
|
||||
LIST_FOR_EACH (offload_entry, dpif_list_node, providers_list) {
|
||||
if (offload_entry == offload || !strcmp(offload->name,
|
||||
offload_entry->name)) {
|
||||
return EEXIST;
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Both use linked list traversal for name-based membership tests.
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
Build a `shash` (string hash map) of providers keyed by type name at collection creation
|
||||
time. The priority-sort loop and the duplicate-check in `provider_collection_add` can then
|
||||
use `shash_find()` — O(1) average — instead of list scan.

# perl5-0001: S_pad_findlex() O(n) linear scan per lexical variable lookup
|
||||
|
||||
**Target:** Perl/perl5
|
||||
**Severity:** MEDIUM
|
||||
**CWE:** CWE-407 (Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity)
|
||||
**File:** `pad.c` — `S_pad_findlex()` (~line 1168), called from `pad_findmy_pvn()`
|
||||
**Status:** PATCHED
|
||||
|
||||
## Description
|
||||
|
||||
Every lexical variable reference at compile time goes through `pad_findmy_pvn()`
|
||||
→ `S_pad_findlex()`. `S_pad_findlex()` performs a reverse linear scan from
|
||||
`PadnamelistMAXNAMED` down to 1, comparing each pad name's length and pointer
|
||||
against the target name. In a scope with N declared variables, each lookup is
|
||||
O(N). A source file with M variable references and N variables in scope
|
||||
performs O(M × N) pad-name comparisons at compile time.
|
||||
|
||||
Generated code (ORM layers, template engines, eval-heavy frameworks like
|
||||
Dancer2/Mojolicious) can have hundreds of lexicals in scope and thousands of
|
||||
references per compilation unit. A module with 500 `my` variables and 10,000
|
||||
variable references performs 5,000,000 comparisons at `use` time.
|
||||
|
||||
## Root cause
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
/* pad.c ~1168 — called for every lexical variable reference */
|
||||
for (offset = PadnamelistMAXNAMED(names); offset > 0; offset--) {
|
||||
const PADNAME * const name = name_p[offset];
|
||||
if (name && PadnameLEN(name) == namelen
|
||||
&& ( PadnamePV(name) == namepv /* pointer eq fast path */
|
||||
|| memEQ(PadnamePV(name), namepv, namelen) ))
|
||||
{
|
||||
if (PadnameOUTER(name)) { fake_offset = offset; continue; }
|
||||
if (PadnameIN_SCOPE(name, seq)) break;
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The fast path (`PadnamePV(name) == namepv`) fires for interned strings in the
|
||||
same compilation unit, but the loop still walks all N pad slots.
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Add a hash map (`padname_string → list of pad offsets`) to `PADNAMELIST`,
|
||||
maintained by `padnamelist_store()`. `S_pad_findlex()` hashes the name once,
|
||||
then iterates only the offsets that share that hash bucket (typically 1–3
|
||||
entries), reducing the scan to O(1) amortised.
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
/* In padnamelist_store() — O(1) extra work per declaration */
|
||||
hv_store(padnamelist->pnl_hash, namepv, namelen,
|
||||
newSVuv(offset), 0);
|
||||
|
||||
/* In S_pad_findlex() — replace linear scan with hash lookup */
|
||||
SV **bucket = hv_fetch(padnamelist->pnl_hash, namepv, namelen, 0);
|
||||
if (bucket) {
|
||||
offset = (PADOFFSET)SvUV(*bucket);
|
||||
/* verify scope with PadnameIN_SCOPE */
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Ops numbers (Java benchmark)
|
||||
|
||||
See `defects/perl5/unit/Perl5Test.java` (bench label "pad-findlex").
|
||||
At N=500 pad names, M=2000 lookups: slow ~500,000 comparisons, fast ~2,000 → 250× speedup.

|
||||
## Description
|
||||
|
||||
`zend_get_arg_num()` performs a linear scan over `fn->common.num_args` entries
|
||||
to locate a named argument by string comparison:
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
static uint32_t zend_get_arg_num(const zend_function *fn, const zend_string *arg_name) {
|
||||
// TODO: Caching?
|
||||
for (uint32_t i = 0; i < fn->common.num_args; i++) {
|
||||
zend_arg_info *arg_info = &fn->op_array.arg_info[i];
|
||||
if (zend_string_equals(arg_info->name, arg_name)) {
|
||||
return i + 1;
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
return (uint32_t) -1;
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This is called from `zend_compile_args()` which iterates over all `args->children`
|
||||
at compile time. For a function with M parameters called with N named arguments
|
||||
the total cost is O(N × M). The upstream comment `// TODO: Caching?` acknowledges
|
||||
the defect.
|
||||
|
||||
The companion runtime function `zend_get_arg_offset_by_name()` in
|
||||
`zend_execute.c` (line 5479) carries the same structure with an explicit
|
||||
`// TODO: Use a hash table?` comment, and is subject to identical quadratic
|
||||
behavior on cache miss.
|
||||
|
||||
## Reproduction
|
||||
|
||||
```php
|
||||
// Function with 50 named parameters, called with all 50 named — 50×50 = 2500 scans
|
||||
function wide(
|
||||
$p0, $p1, $p2, ..., $p49
|
||||
) {}
|
||||
// Each named arg triggers zend_get_arg_num linear scan over 50 entries
|
||||
wide(p49: 1, p48: 2, ..., p0: 50);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Build a `HashTable` from `arg_name → position` once per function signature and
|
||||
cache it on the `zend_function` (or use the existing per-opcode cache slot for
|
||||
the runtime path, which already has infrastructure but is not used for the
|
||||
compile-time path).

# php-0002 — zend_execute.c: O(n²) linear scan for named argument offset at runtime

| CWE | CWE-407 (Algorithmic Complexity) |
|

| Severity | HIGH |
|
||||
| Status | PATCHED |
|
||||
|
||||
## Description
|
||||
|
||||
`zend_get_arg_offset_by_name()` resolves a named argument to its positional
|
||||
offset at call time. It uses a per-opcode cache slot, but on cache miss (first
|
||||
call or when the function pointer changes) it falls back to a linear scan:
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
// TODO: Use a hash table?
|
||||
uint32_t num_args = fbc->common.num_args;
|
||||
for (uint32_t i = 0; i < num_args; i++) {
|
||||
const zend_arg_info *arg_info = &fbc->common.arg_info[i];
|
||||
if (zend_string_equals(arg_name, arg_info->name)) {
|
||||
...
|
||||
return i;
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Every unique call site × function-pointer combination incurs O(M) on first use.
|
||||
In JIT-warmed code or long-running scripts that call many different functions
|
||||
with named args this accumulates to O(N × M) cost. The upstream comment
|
||||
`// TODO: Use a hash table?` explicitly acknowledges the defect.
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
See php-0001. Build a per-function-signature hash mapping name → index once
|
||||
and reuse across all call sites. The cache-slot mechanism already exists for
|
||||
the "already resolved" fast path — extending it to populate a shared per-`fbc`
|
||||
table avoids the O(M) fallback entirely.

# pip-0001 — SimpleWheelCache: support_index_min() linear tag scan inside wheel candidate loop
|
||||
|
||||
## Target
|
||||
`pypa/pip` — `src/pip/_internal/cache.py`
|
||||
|
||||
## CWE
|
||||
CWE-407: Algorithmic Complexity — O(n) linear membership inside a hot loop
|
||||
|
||||
## Location
|
||||
```
|
||||
cache.py:160
|
||||
wheel.support_index_min(supported_tags),
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Description
|
||||
`SimpleWheelCache.get_path_for_link()` iterates over all cached wheel candidates and for each calls
|
||||
`wheel.support_index_min(supported_tags)`. The `support_index_min()` method linearly enumerates the
|
||||
`supported_tags` list (`list[Tag]`, typically 200–600 entries on CPython for multi-arch builds) to
|
||||
find the lowest index where any of the wheel's file tags match.
|
||||
|
||||
Result: O(|candidates| × |supported_tags|) per cache lookup.
|
||||
|
||||
The fix used in `package_finder.py` (lines 474–479) — precomputing a `dict[Tag, int]` priority map
|
||||
and using `find_most_preferred_tag()` — already exists in the codebase but was never applied to the
|
||||
cache path. The cache path still calls the legacy O(n) `support_index_min`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Complexity
|
||||
- Slow path: O(C × T) where C = cached wheel candidates, T = supported tags (~200-600)
|
||||
- Fast path: O(C) with precomputed `tag_to_priority: dict[Tag, int]`
|
||||
|
||||
## Evidence
|
||||
`package_finder.py:477`:
|
||||
```python
|
||||
self._wheel_tag_preferences = {
|
||||
tag: idx for idx, tag in enumerate(supported_tags)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
This exact fix pattern is adjacent but never applied to the cache code path.

# prometheus-0001: Builder.Labels() del-slice membership — slices.Contains O(n²)
|
||||
|
||||
**Target:** Prometheus (model/labels — slicelabels build tag)
|
||||
**File:** `model/labels/labels_slicelabels.go`
|
||||
**CWE:** CWE-407 — Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity
|
||||
**Severity:** HIGH
|
||||
**Status:** PATCHED
|
||||
|
||||
## Description
|
||||
|
||||
`Builder.Labels()` in the `slicelabels` implementation iterates every base label
|
||||
and calls `slices.Contains(b.del, l.Name)` for each one. `b.del` is a `[]string`;
|
||||
`slices.Contains` is O(D) where D = number of deleted labels. The outer loop is
|
||||
O(L) where L = total base labels. Combined cost: **O(L × D)**.
|
||||
|
||||
The same path also calls `contains(b.add, l.Name)` (a hand-written linear scan of
|
||||
`[]Label`), adding another O(L × A) term for A = added labels.
|
||||
|
||||
This function is the exit of every relabel rule application. The relabeling hot
|
||||
path — `ProcessBuilder` in `model/relabel/relabel.go` — is called for every scrape
|
||||
target on every scrape interval. For a `LabelDrop`/`LabelKeep` rule that deletes
|
||||
K labels, D grows to K and the total cost per target per scrape is O(L²).
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
// labels_slicelabels.go line 424-428
|
||||
for _, l := range b.base {
|
||||
if slices.Contains(b.del, l.Name) || contains(b.add, l.Name) {
|
||||
continue // slices.Contains = O(D), called O(L) times → O(L×D)
|
||||
}
|
||||
res = append(res, l)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Convert `b.del` to `map[string]struct{}` at construction (or lazily when first used)
|
||||
so membership tests are O(1). The `contains(b.add, l.Name)` helper should similarly
|
||||
use a `map[string]int` index into `b.add`. Total cost of `Builder.Labels()` drops to
|
||||
O(L + D + A).

# r-source-0001: rapply() do_one() nested loop class matching → O(k²)
|
||||
|
||||
**Target:** wch/r-source
|
||||
**Severity:** MEDIUM
|
||||
**CWE:** CWE-407 (Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity)
|
||||
**File:** `src/main/apply.c` — `do_one()` (~line 312)
|
||||
**Status:** PATCHED
|
||||
|
||||
## Description
|
||||
|
||||
The `rapply()` built-in applies a function recursively to elements matching a
|
||||
set of classes. For each non-list element, `do_one()` checks whether the
|
||||
element's class vector intersects with the user-supplied `classes` vector using
|
||||
two nested linear loops: `for i over klass` × `for j over classes`. Both
|
||||
vectors can be of length k (e.g. 10–20 for complex S4 hierarchies). The cost
|
||||
per element is O(k²).
|
||||
|
||||
For a deeply nested list with N elements each having k classes checked against
|
||||
k target classes, total cost is O(N × k²). In practice `rapply()` is called on
|
||||
data frames and nested lists with dozens of columns, each having S3/S4 class
|
||||
vectors. The nested scan fires once per element per recursive call.
|
||||
|
||||
## Root cause
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
/* src/main/apply.c ~312 */
|
||||
PROTECT(klass = R_data_class(X, false));
|
||||
for(int i = 0; i < LENGTH(klass); i++) /* O(k) over element's classes */
|
||||
for(int j = 0; j < length(classes); j++) /* O(k) over target classes */
|
||||
if(Seql(STRING_ELT(klass, i), STRING_ELT(classes, j)))
|
||||
matched = true;
|
||||
UNPROTECT(1);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`Seql` compares two `CHARSXP` pointers; when the strings are interned it is
|
||||
O(1), but the outer double loop is still O(k²) iterations regardless.
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Build a hash set from `classes` before recursing into the list, then check
|
||||
membership with a single O(k) loop over `klass`. In C this can be done with a
|
||||
small `STRSXP`-keyed hash via `Rf_installChar` / pointer comparison after
|
||||
interning, or by using `R_StringHash`:
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
/* Build a set of class name pointers (interned, so pointer-comparable) */
|
||||
for(int j = 0; j < length(classes); j++)
|
||||
interned[j] = Rf_installChar(STRING_ELT(classes, j));
|
||||
|
||||
for(int i = 0; i < LENGTH(klass); i++) {
|
||||
SEXP ci = Rf_installChar(STRING_ELT(klass, i));
|
||||
for(int j = 0; j < length(classes); j++)
|
||||
if(ci == interned[j]) { matched = true; break; }
|
||||
if(matched) break;
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For k ≤ ~16 this is already a significant win (early-exit on first match +
|
||||
pointer comparison). For larger k, a `HTAB`/`StringSet` gives O(k) total.
|
||||
|
||||
## Ops numbers (Java benchmark)
|
||||
|
||||
See `defects/r-source/unit/RSourceTest.java` (bench label "rapply-class-match").
|
||||
At N=500 elements, k=20 classes: slow ~100,000 comparisons, fast ~10,000 → 10× speedup.

# rabbitmq-0003 — check_declare_arguments: O(n²) lists:member inside lists:filter

**Severity:** MEDIUM
|
||||
**CWE:** CWE-407 (Algorithmic Complexity — Quadratic Membership Test)
|
||||
**Status:** PATCHED
|
||||
|
||||
## Defect
|
||||
|
||||
`check_declare_arguments` and `check_consume_arguments` both call:
|
||||
|
||||
```erlang
|
||||
Validators = lists:filter(fun({Arg, _}) -> lists:member(Arg, QueueTypeArgs) end, declare_args()),
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`declare_args()` returns a list of ~21 argument validators. `QueueTypeArgs` is also a list.
|
||||
`lists:filter` iterates over all validators (O(D)) and for each element calls `lists:member`
|
||||
against `QueueTypeArgs` (O(Q)). Total: **O(D × Q)** per queue declare/consume operation.
|
||||
|
||||
With type arguments lists growing as new queue types are added, this degrades proportionally.
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Convert `QueueTypeArgs` to an Erlang `sets` (or `gb_sets`) before the filter. `sets:is_element`
|
||||
is O(1) average, reducing the filter to O(D).
|
||||
|
||||
```erlang
|
||||
% Before
|
||||
Validators = lists:filter(fun({Arg, _}) -> lists:member(Arg, QueueTypeArgs) end, declare_args()),
|
||||
|
||||
% After
|
||||
QueueTypeArgsSet = sets:from_list(QueueTypeArgs),
|
||||
Validators = lists:filter(fun({Arg, _}) -> sets:is_element(Arg, QueueTypeArgsSet) end, declare_args()),

|

## CWE
|
||||
CWE-407: Algorithmic Complexity — Insufficient Complexity Reduction Before Algorithmic
|
||||
Intensive Operation
|
||||
|
||||
## Description
|
||||
`GetGlyphIndex(Font font, int codepoint)` performs an O(n) linear scan of
|
||||
`font.glyphs[]` for every character in every text draw call (DrawText, DrawTextEx,
|
||||
MeasureText, MeasureTextEx, DrawTextCodepoint, etc.). For a font with N glyphs,
|
||||
rendering a string of L characters costs O(L * N) per frame.
|
||||
|
||||
In the `SUPPORT_UNORDERED_CHARSET` branch (enabled by default via `#define`), every
|
||||
call walks the full glyphs array until it finds the matching codepoint or exhausts the
|
||||
array.
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
// rtext.c:1453
|
||||
int GetGlyphIndex(Font font, int codepoint)
|
||||
{
|
||||
int index = 0;
|
||||
...
|
||||
for (int i = 0; i < font.glyphCount; i++) // O(n) every call
|
||||
{
|
||||
if (font.glyphs[i].value == 63) fallbackIndex = i;
|
||||
if (font.glyphs[i].value == codepoint) { index = i; break; }
|
||||
}
|
||||
...
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Call Sites (partial)
|
||||
- `DrawText` → `DrawTextEx` → inner loop calls `GetGlyphIndex` per codepoint
|
||||
- `MeasureTextEx` → inner loop calls `GetGlyphIndex` per codepoint
|
||||
- `DrawTextCodepoints` → inner loop
|
||||
- `GetGlyphInfo` → `GetGlyphIndex`
|
||||
- `GetGlyphAtlasRec` → `GetGlyphIndex`
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
Build a `codepoint → index` hash map (or sorted array + binary search) once at font
|
||||
load time. `GetGlyphIndex` then becomes O(1) average (hash map) or O(log n) (binary
|
||||
search on sorted glyphs).
|
||||
|
||||
Patch: sort glyphs by codepoint value at load time and use binary search. This keeps
|
||||
memory layout unchanged and requires no new heap allocation.
|
||||
|
||||
## Complexity
|
||||
- Before: O(L * N) per DrawText call where L = string length, N = font.glyphCount
|
||||
- After: O(L * log N) with binary search; O(L) with hash map
|
||||
|
||||
## Benchmark
|
||||
See `defects/raylib/unit/RaylibGlyphIndexTest.java` — at N=2048 glyphs:
|
||||
- slow() (linear scan): ~2048 comparisons per lookup
|
||||
- fast() (binary search): ~11 comparisons per lookup

# redis-0001: SINTER/SDIFF on listpack sets — O(N×M) quadratic membership
|
||||
|
||||
**Target:** redis/redis
|
||||
**Severity:** HIGH
|
||||
**CWE:** CWE-407 (Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity)
|
||||
**File:** `src/t_set.c:1472` (`sinterGenericCommand`)
|
||||
**Status:** PATCHED
|
||||
|
||||
## Description
|
||||
|
||||
`sinterGenericCommand` iterates every element of the smallest set (outer loop, N
|
||||
elements) and for each element calls `setTypeIsMemberAux` on each of the
|
||||
remaining sets. When those sets use `OBJ_ENCODING_LISTPACK` (the default for
|
||||
sets with ≤ 128 entries, configured via `set-max-listpack-entries`),
|
||||
`setTypeIsMemberAux` dispatches to `lpFind`, which is an O(M) linear scan
|
||||
through the listpack blob.
|
||||
|
||||
Result: O(N × M) per intersection query instead of O(N) with a hash table.
|
||||
|
||||
At the default threshold of 128 entries:
|
||||
- Slow (listpack): 128 × 128 = 16,384 comparisons
|
||||
- Fast (hash table): 128 × O(1) = 128 comparisons
|
||||
- Worst-case speedup: **128×**
|
||||
|
||||
The same quadratic path exists in `sunionDiffGenericCommand` DIFF algorithm 1
|
||||
(comment in source confirms "O(N*M) where N is the size of the first set and M
|
||||
the number of sets") when inner sets are listpack-encoded.
|
||||
|
||||
## Hot paths
|
||||
|
||||
- `SINTER key1 key2 [...]` — intersection query
|
||||
- `SINTERCARD numkeys key1 key2 [LIMIT n]` — cardinality of intersection
|
||||
- `SINTERSTORE dst key1 key2 [...]` — store intersection
|
||||
- `SDIFF key1 key2` (algo 1) — difference query when sets are small
|
||||
|
||||
## Root cause
|
||||
|
||||
`src/t_set.c:1474–1477`:
|
||||
```c
|
||||
while((encoding = setTypeNext(&si, &str, &len, &intobj)) != -1) {
|
||||
for (j = 1; j < setnum; j++) {
|
||||
if (!setTypeIsMemberAux(sets[j].set, str, len, intobj,
|
||||
encoding == OBJ_ENCODING_HT))
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`setTypeIsMemberAux` at encoding `OBJ_ENCODING_LISTPACK` calls `lpFind`, which
|
||||
walks the packed byte array from the beginning — O(M).
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Before entering the intersection loop, convert any listpack-encoded set to a
|
||||
temporary hash table (`dictCreate`) so that subsequent membership checks are
|
||||
O(1). The temporary dict is freed after the loop. Sets already using
|
||||
`OBJ_ENCODING_HT` or `OBJ_ENCODING_INTSET` are left untouched.

# redis-0002: getUpcomingChannelList O(S×C²) quadratic channel membership
|
||||
|
||||
**Target:** redis/redis
|
||||
**Severity:** MEDIUM
|
||||
**CWE:** CWE-407 (Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity)
|
||||
**File:** `src/acl.c:1952` (`getUpcomingChannelList`)
|
||||
**Status:** PATCHED
|
||||
|
||||
## Description
|
||||
|
||||
`getUpcomingChannelList(user *new, user *original)` builds a flat linked list
|
||||
(`upcoming`) of all channel patterns from `new`'s selectors, then for each
|
||||
channel pattern in `original`'s selectors calls `listSearchKey(upcoming, ...)`.
|
||||
|
||||
`listSearchKey` is an O(n) walk of the `upcoming` list. With S selectors and C
|
||||
channel patterns per selector the `upcoming` list grows to S×C entries.
|
||||
The outer loop also iterates S×C patterns.
|
||||
|
||||
Result: O((S×C)²) in the worst case — quadratic in total channel-pattern count.
|
||||
|
||||
In practice, heavily compartmentalized users (many selectors, many channel ACL
|
||||
rules) hit this during `ACL SETUSER` and at any `SUBSCRIBE`/`PSUBSCRIBE` event
|
||||
that triggers client-kill evaluation.
|
||||
|
||||
## Hot paths
|
||||
|
||||
- `ACL SETUSER` — triggers `killPubsubClientsIfNeeded`, which calls
|
||||
`getUpcomingChannelList` for each affected client.
|
||||
- `SUBSCRIBE` / `PSUBSCRIBE` evaluation when ACL rules restrict channels.
|
||||
|
||||
## Root cause
|
||||
|
||||
`src/acl.c:1935–1960`:
|
||||
```c
|
||||
list *upcoming = listCreate(); // O(S×C) entries
|
||||
...
|
||||
while((lpn = listNext(&lpi)) && match) {
|
||||
if (!listSearchKey(upcoming, listNodeValue(lpn))) { // O(S×C) per call
|
||||
match = 0;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Replace the `upcoming` linked list with a hash table (`dictCreate` with
|
||||
`dictTypeSds` or a simple `rax`). Build the set from `new`'s selectors, then
|
||||
check each of `original`'s channel patterns with O(1) lookup. Total cost
|
||||
becomes O(S×C) instead of O((S×C)²).
|
||||
|
||||
See patch: `defects/redis/patch/0002-acl-upcoming-channels-dict.patch`
|
||||
|
||||
## Also affects
|
||||
|
||||
- valkey/valkey — identical `getUpcomingChannelList` code path.
|
||||
|
||||
## Ops ratio (unit test)
|
||||
|
||||
S=4 selectors, C=50 channels each (200 total):
|
||||
- slow ops: 200 × 200 = 40,000
|
||||
- fast ops: 200 (one pass build) + 200 (O(1) lookups) = 400
|
||||
- speedup: **100×**

|
||||
| ID | ruby-0001 |
|
||||
| Target | Ruby |
|
||||
| File | `vm_args.c` |
|
||||
| Lines | 300–374 |
|
||||
| CWE | CWE-407 (Algorithmic Complexity) |
|
||||
| Severity | HIGH |
|
||||
| Status | PATCHED |
|
||||
|
||||
## Description
|
||||
|
||||
`args_setup_kw_parameters()` maps passed keyword arguments to formal parameter
|
||||
slots. For each of the function's `key_num` acceptable keywords it calls
|
||||
`args_setup_kw_parameters_lookup()`, which linearly scans the full
|
||||
`passed_keyword_len` array of passed keyword names:
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
static inline int
|
||||
args_setup_kw_parameters_lookup(const ID key, VALUE *ptr,
|
||||
const VALUE *const passed_keywords, VALUE *passed_values,
|
||||
const int passed_keyword_len)
|
||||
{
|
||||
int i;
|
||||
const VALUE keyname = ID2SYM(key);
|
||||
for (i=0; i<passed_keyword_len; i++) { // O(passed_keyword_len)
|
||||
if (keyname == passed_keywords[i]) {
|
||||
...
|
||||
return TRUE;
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
return FALSE;
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Called from two loops in `args_setup_kw_parameters`:
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
for (i=0; i<req_key_num; i++) {
|
||||
args_setup_kw_parameters_lookup(acceptable_keywords[i], ...); // O(P)
|
||||
}
|
||||
for (di=0; i<key_num; i++, di++) {
|
||||
args_setup_kw_parameters_lookup(acceptable_keywords[i], ...); // O(P)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Total cost: O(key_num × passed_keyword_len). For a method with K keyword
|
||||
params called with P keyword arguments, every call is O(K × P).
|
||||
|
||||
## Reproduction
|
||||
|
||||
```ruby
|
||||
# Method with 20 keyword params, called with all 20 named
|
||||
def wide(a0:, a1:, a2:, a3:, a4:, a5:, a6:, a7:, a8:, a9:,
|
||||
b0:, b1:, b2:, b3:, b4:, b5:, b6:, b7:, b8:, b9:) end
|
||||
# Each call: 20 acceptable keywords × 20 passed = 400 linear comparisons
|
||||
# vs hash: 20 + 20 = 40 operations
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Build a temporary `st_table` (Ruby's hash) from `passed_keywords` → index
|
||||
once before the two loops, then replace `args_setup_kw_parameters_lookup` with
|
||||
an O(1) `st_lookup`. Build cost: O(P). Total: O(K + P).
|
||||
|
||||
## Complexity
|
||||
|
||||
| Metric | Before | After |
|
||||
|--------|--------|-------|
|
||||
| Per call (K params, P passed) | O(K × P) | O(K + P) |

# scala-0001 — CWE-407: Checkable propagateKnownTypes baseClasses O(n²) nested scan
|
||||
|
||||
**Target:** scala/scala — `src/compiler/scala/tools/nsc/typechecker/Checkable.scala`
|
||||
**Severity:** HIGH
|
||||
**Complexity:** O(n²) → O(n)
|
||||
|
||||
## Defect
|
||||
|
||||
`propagateKnownTypes` (Checkable.scala:98) performs a nested O(n²) scan:
|
||||
|
||||
```scala
|
||||
from.baseClasses foreach { bc => if (to.baseClasses.contains(bc)){
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Both `from.baseClasses` and `to.baseClasses` return `List[Symbol]`. The outer
|
||||
`foreach` iterates over `from.baseClasses` (length M), and for each element calls
|
||||
`to.baseClasses.contains(bc)` which is O(N) linear scan. Total: O(M×N).
|
||||
|
||||
In Scala's type system, class hierarchy depth determines M and N. For typical
|
||||
Scala projects this is 10–50 base classes per type; for framework-heavy code
|
||||
(Akka, Play, Cats) it can reach 100+. The outer loop is called during pattern
|
||||
match type-checking for every `match`/`isInstanceOf` in source.
|
||||
|
||||
`propagateKnownTypes` is called from `CheckabilityChecker` during `Typers`
|
||||
pattern match elaboration — a hot path for Scala programs that use `match`
|
||||
extensively.
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Convert `to.baseClasses` to a `Set` before the loop:
|
||||
|
||||
```scala
|
||||
def propagateKnownTypes(from: Type, to: Symbol): Type = {
|
||||
def tparams = to.typeParams
|
||||
val tvars = tparams map (p => TypeVar(p))
|
||||
val tvarType = appliedType(to, tvars)
|
||||
val toBaseClassSet = to.baseClasses.toSet // O(n) once
|
||||
|
||||
from.baseClasses foreach { bc => if (toBaseClassSet.contains(bc)){
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`Symbol` implements `hashCode`/`equals` by identity (object reference), so
|
||||
`Set[Symbol]` gives O(1) membership. The one-time conversion cost is O(N) and
|
||||
the outer loop becomes O(M) total.
|
||||
|
||||
## Impact
|
||||
|
||||
- Every pattern match expression in Scala source triggers `propagateKnownTypes`
|
||||
- Deep class hierarchies (trait-heavy Scala libraries) magnify the defect
|
||||
- O(n²) in hierarchy depth per match arm, multiplied by number of match expressions
|
||||
- Compile time for large Scala codebases (Spark, Akka, Cats) is meaningfully
|
||||
affected — particularly files with many `match` expressions over typed hierarchies

|

## CWE
|
||||
CWE-407: Algorithmic Complexity — Insufficient Complexity Reduction Before Algorithmic
|
||||
Intensive Operation
|
||||
|
||||
## Description
|
||||
`SDL_GetJoystickFromID(SDL_JoystickID instance_id)` and
|
||||
`SDL_GetGamepadFromID(SDL_JoystickID joyid)` both perform O(n) linked-list walks to
|
||||
find a joystick/gamepad by its instance ID.
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
// SDL_joystick.c:1960
|
||||
SDL_Joystick *SDL_GetJoystickFromID(SDL_JoystickID instance_id)
|
||||
{
|
||||
SDL_LockJoysticks();
|
||||
for (joystick = SDL_joysticks; joystick; joystick = joystick->next) { // O(n)
|

if (joystick->instance_id == instance_id) break;
|
||||
}
|
||||
SDL_UnlockJoysticks();
|

return joystick;
|

}
|

|
||||
gamepad = gamepad->next;
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
These functions are called 41+ times across `src/joystick/` including per-packet HIDAPI
|
||||
device update loops (SDL_hidapijoystick.c:652, :808, :873), per-device-num-joysticks
|
||||
inner loops, and device property update paths. With N open joysticks, each call is O(N).
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
Add a `SDL_HashTable` (SDL already has `SDL_hashtable.h`) mapping
|
||||
`SDL_JoystickID → SDL_Joystick*` and `SDL_JoystickID → SDL_Gamepad*`.
|
||||
Insert on open, remove on close. Lookup becomes O(1).
|
||||
|
||||
## Complexity
|
||||
- Before: O(n) per lookup where n = number of open joysticks
|
||||
- After: O(1) with hash table

# spring-0003: AbstractApplicationEventMulticaster.retrieveApplicationListeners — ArrayList.contains() O(n²)
|
||||
|
||||
**Target:** Spring Framework
|
||||
**File:** `spring-context/src/main/java/org/springframework/context/event/AbstractApplicationEventMulticaster.java`
|
||||
**CWE:** CWE-407 — Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity
|
||||
**Severity:** HIGH
|
||||
**Status:** PATCHED
|
||||
|
||||
## Description
|
||||
|
||||
`retrieveApplicationListeners()` builds `allListeners` as `ArrayList<ApplicationListener<?>>`.
|
||||
It then loops over `listenerBeans` (O(L) beans), and inside that loop calls
|
||||
`allListeners.contains()` twice — at lines 279 and 285:
|
||||
|
||||
```java
|
||||
// AbstractApplicationEventMulticaster.java line 236, 262-295
|
||||
List<ApplicationListener<?>> allListeners = new ArrayList<>(); // ArrayList!
|
||||
|
||||
for (String listenerBeanName : listenerBeans) { // O(L) iterations
|
||||
...
|
||||
if (allListeners.contains(unwrappedListener)) { // O(n) scan — line 279
|
||||
allListeners.remove(unwrappedListener);
|
||||
allListeners.add(listener);
|
||||
}
|
||||
if (!allListeners.contains(listener) && ...) { // O(n) scan — line 285
|
||||
allListeners.add(listener);
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`allListeners` is populated first from `listeners` (O(P) programmatic listeners),
|
||||
so at line 262 the list already has up to P entries. Each of the L bean-name
|
||||
lookups performs up to two O(P+L) scans. Total: O(L × (P+L)) = O(n²) in the
|
||||
worst case where L ≈ P ≈ n.
|
||||
|
||||
This path is hit on **every event dispatch** that is not fully cached —
|
||||
including `ContextRefreshedEvent`, `ApplicationReadyEvent`, and any custom event
|
||||
whose type has not been seen before. Large Spring Boot applications with many
|
||||
listeners pay this tax on startup and every cache-miss dispatch.
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Replace `ArrayList` with `LinkedHashSet` for `allListeners` throughout
|
||||
`retrieveApplicationListeners()`. `Set.add()` provides O(1) dedup, eliminating
|
||||
both `contains()` calls. The `remove()`+`add()` pair for proxy replacement
|
||||
reduces to `remove()`+`add()` on a Set (both O(1)).
|
||||
|
||||
```java
|
||||
// Fixed
|
||||
LinkedHashSet<ApplicationListener<?>> allListeners = new LinkedHashSet<>();
|
||||
// ...
|
||||
if (filteredListeners != null && filteredListeners.contains(unwrappedListener)) { ... }
|
||||
// allListeners.contains() calls replaced by Set membership or direct add()
|
||||
if (allListeners.add(listener) && supportsEvent(listener, eventType, sourceType)) { ... }
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Convert back to `List` for the final sort:
|
||||
```java
|
||||
List<ApplicationListener<?>> sorted = new ArrayList<>(allListeners);
|
||||
AnnotationAwareOrderComparator.sort(sorted);
|
||||
return sorted;

|
||||
**Status:** PATCHED
|
||||
|
||||
## Description
|
||||
|
||||
`DefaultListenerRetriever.getApplicationListeners()` (inner class, line 496)
|
||||
builds `allListeners` as `ArrayList` and then iterates `applicationListenerBeans`,
|
||||
calling `allListeners.contains(listener)` inside the loop:
|
||||
|
||||
```java
|
||||
// AbstractApplicationEventMulticaster.java line 503-521
|
||||
List<ApplicationListener<?>> allListeners = new ArrayList<>(
|
||||
this.applicationListeners.size() + this.applicationListenerBeans.size());
|
||||
allListeners.addAll(this.applicationListeners); // up to P entries
|
||||
|
||||
for (String listenerBeanName : this.applicationListenerBeans) { // O(L) iterations
|
||||
ApplicationListener<?> listener = beanFactory.getBean(...);
|
||||
if (!allListeners.contains(listener)) { // O(P+i) scan — line 512
|
||||
allListeners.add(listener);
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Same pattern as spring-0003 but in the non-cached retriever path (used when the
|
||||
default retriever's list is returned directly). O(L × P) = O(n²) in the
|
||||
worst case.
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Use a `LinkedHashSet` for `allListeners` (insertion-ordered, O(1) dedup):
|
||||
|
||||
```java
|
||||
LinkedHashSet<ApplicationListener<?>> allListeners = new LinkedHashSet<>(
|
||||
this.applicationListeners);
|
||||
|
||||
for (String listenerBeanName : this.applicationListenerBeans) {
|
||||
allListeners.add(beanFactory.getBean(listenerBeanName, ApplicationListener.class));
|
||||
// Set.add() is O(1) and idempotent — no contains() guard needed
|
||||
}
|
||||
List<ApplicationListener<?>> sorted = new ArrayList<>(allListeners);
|
||||
AnnotationAwareOrderComparator.sort(sorted);

return sorted;

|

|

`index` is built after construction. The fix is to use `index` (which is populated
|

incrementally) for the duplicate check, converting the O(n²) constructor to O(n).
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Check `index.containsKey(field)` instead of `this.fields.contains(field)` and add to
|
||||
`index` inline. The existing `index()` call at the end becomes a no-op or is removed.

# storm-0002: WorkerState topology reassignment — ArrayList.contains() O(n²)
|
||||
|
||||
**Target:** Apache Storm
|
||||
**File:** `storm-client/src/jvm/org/apache/storm/daemon/worker/WorkerState.java`
|
||||
**CWE:** CWE-407 — Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity
|
||||
**Severity:** MEDIUM
|
||||
**Status:** PATCHED
|
||||
|
||||
## Description
|
||||
|
||||
`WorkerState.refreshConnections()` iterates over all tasks in the assignment
|
||||
(outer loop, O(n)) and calls `localTaskIds.contains(task)` where `localTaskIds`
|
||||
is an `ArrayList<Integer>` (inner O(n) scan), yielding O(n²) per reassignment event.
|
||||
|
||||
```java
|
||||
// storm-client/.../worker/WorkerState.java line 112 / 424-431
|
||||
final ArrayList<Integer> localTaskIds; // O(n) contains
|
||||
|
||||
// in refreshConnections():
|
||||
for (Map.Entry<Integer, NodeInfo> taskToNodePortEntry : taskToNodePort.entrySet()) {
|
||||
Integer task = taskToNodePortEntry.getKey();
|
||||
if (outboundTasks.contains(task)) { // outboundTasks is Set<Integer> — O(1)
|
||||
newTaskToNodePort.put(task, taskToNodePortEntry.getValue());
|
||||
if (!localTaskIds.contains(task)) { // ArrayList — O(n) ← defect
|
||||
neededConnections.add(taskToNodePortEntry.getValue());
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`outboundTasks` is already a `Set<Integer>` so that check is O(1). `localTaskIds` should
|
||||
also be a `HashSet<Integer>` for the membership check.
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Maintain a parallel `Set<Integer> localTaskIdSet` (or convert `localTaskIds` to
|
||||
`LinkedHashSet`) so that `localTaskIds.contains()` becomes O(1).

# tidb-0001: getEnforcedMergeJoin / getNewJoinKeys offsets slices.Contains — O(N²)
|
||||
|
||||
**Severity:** MEDIUM
|
||||
**File:** pkg/planner/core/operator/physicalop/physical_merge_join.go
|
||||
**Line:** 173, 513, 527
|
||||
**Status:** PATCHED
|
||||
|
||||
## Description
|
||||
|
||||
Three functions use `slices.Contains(offsets, pos)` inside loops over join keys:
|
||||
|
||||
**`getEnforcedMergeJoin`** (line 158–197): iterates `prop.SortItems` (outer loop),
|
||||
then iterates `leftJoinKeys` (inner loop), calling `slices.Contains(offsets, joinKeyPos)`
|
||||
on each inner iteration. `offsets` grows as matches are found. With K sort items
|
||||
and N join keys, this is O(K × N) comparisons in the inner body — and each
|
||||
`slices.Contains` call is itself O(len(offsets)), making total work O(K × N²).
|
||||
|
||||
**`getNewJoinKeysByOffsets`** (line 508–518): iterates all `oldJoinKeys`, calling
|
||||
`slices.Contains(offsets, pos)` for each — O(N × |offsets|) = O(N²) worst case.
|
||||
|
||||
**`getNewNullEQByOffsets`** (line 521–531): identical pattern to `getNewJoinKeysByOffsets`.
|
||||
|
||||
These functions run during physical plan enumeration for every Sort-Merge Join
|
||||
candidate. Queries with 20+ join keys on wide tables trigger O(400) comparisons
|
||||
where O(20) suffices.
|
||||
|
||||
## Root Cause
|
||||
|
||||
`offsets` is a `[]int` slice. Membership is checked with `slices.Contains`,
|
||||
which does a linear scan. A `map[int]struct{}` or `[]bool` bitset (indexed by
|
||||
join key position) reduces each lookup to O(1).
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Use a `map[int]struct{}` (or equivalently a `[]bool` sized to the number of
|
||||
join keys) alongside `offsets`:
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
// In getEnforcedMergeJoin:
|
||||
offsets := make([]int, 0, len(leftJoinKeys))
|
||||
offsetSet := make(map[int]struct{}, len(leftJoinKeys))
|
||||
// ...
|
||||
if _, exists := offsetSet[joinKeyPos]; !exists {
|
||||
offsets = append(offsets, joinKeyPos)
|
||||
offsetSet[joinKeyPos] = struct{}{}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// In getNewJoinKeysByOffsets / getNewNullEQByOffsets:
|
||||
offsetSet := make(map[int]struct{}, len(offsets))
|
||||
for _, o := range offsets { offsetSet[o] = struct{}{} }
|
||||
// then: if _, exists := offsetSet[pos]; !exists { ... }
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Speedup
|
||||
|
||||
O(N²) → O(N). ~20x at N=20 join keys; ~100x at N=50.

# tidb-0002: mergeInAndNotEQLists removeValues slices.Contains — O(N²)
|
||||
|
||||
**Severity:** MEDIUM
|
||||
**File:** pkg/planner/core/rule/rule_predicate_simplification.go
|
||||
**Line:** 267
|
||||
**Status:** PATCHED
|
||||
|
||||
## Description
|
||||
|
||||
`mergeInAndNotEQLists` simplifies NE/IN-list predicate pairs in the planner.
|
||||
It builds `removeValues []int` containing predicate indices to remove, then
|
||||
filters them out:
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
// O(N²) inner loop builds removeValues
|
||||
for i := range predicates {
|
||||
for j := i + 1; j < len(predicates); j++ {
|
||||
// ... may append i or j to removeValues
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
// O(N) loop with O(|removeValues|) check per iteration = O(N²) filter
|
||||
newValues := make([]expression.Expression, 0, len(predicates))
|
||||
for i, value := range predicates {
|
||||
if !(slices.Contains(removeValues, i)) { // O(|removeValues|) scan
|
||||
newValues = append(newValues, value)
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The O(N²) inner double loop is structural (all pairs must be checked), but the
|
||||
final filter adds an additional O(N × |removeValues|) pass where a bitset or
|
||||
`map[int]struct{}` would make it O(N).
|
||||
|
||||
For a query with 100 IN-list predicates, the filter alone performs up to 10 000
|
||||
index comparisons rather than 100.
|
||||
|
||||
## Root Cause
|
||||
|
||||
`removeValues` is a `[]int` slice used as a set. `slices.Contains` performs a
|
||||
linear scan on every iteration of the output loop.
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Replace `removeValues []int` with `removeSet map[int]struct{}`:
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
removeSet := make(map[int]struct{})
|
||||
// ... replace: removeValues = append(removeValues, i/j)
|
||||
// with: removeSet[i] = struct{}{} / removeSet[j] = struct{}{}
|
||||
|
||||
newValues := make([]expression.Expression, 0, len(predicates))
|
||||
for i, value := range predicates {
|
||||
if _, skip := removeSet[i]; !skip {
|
||||
newValues = append(newValues, value)
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Speedup
|
||||
|
||||
Filter pass: O(N²) → O(N). At N=100 predicates: ~10 000 comparisons → ~100.

# tomcat-0001: ReplicationValve cross-context session dedup — ArrayList.contains() O(n²)
|
||||
|
||||
**Target:** Apache Tomcat
|
||||
**File:** `java/org/apache/catalina/ha/tcp/ReplicationValve.java`
|
||||
**CWE:** CWE-407 — Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity
|
||||
**Severity:** MEDIUM
|
||||
**Status:** PATCHED
|
||||
|
||||
## Description
|
||||
|
||||
`ReplicationValve.registerReplicationSession()` accumulates cross-context
|
||||
`DeltaSession` objects in a `ThreadLocal<ArrayList<DeltaSession>>`. For each
|
||||
incoming session it checks membership with `sessions.contains(session)` before
|
||||
adding, where `sessions` is `ArrayList<DeltaSession>`.
|
||||
|
||||
In Portlet-style deployments the comment in the code explicitly notes that
|
||||
"the Portlet API can include a lot of fragments from same or different
|
||||
applications with session changes." Each call to `registerReplicationSession()`
|
||||
does a full linear scan of the growing list — O(n) per call — producing
|
||||
O(n²) total work when n sessions are registered for a single request.
|
||||
|
||||
```java
|
||||
// ReplicationValve.java line 80, 265-275
|
||||
protected final ThreadLocal<ArrayList<DeltaSession>> crossContextSessions = new ThreadLocal<>();
|
||||
|
||||
public void registerReplicationSession(DeltaSession session) {
|
||||
List<DeltaSession> sessions = crossContextSessions.get();
|
||||
if (sessions != null) {
|
||||
if (!sessions.contains(session)) { // O(n) scan per call → O(n²) total
|
||||
sessions.add(session);
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Replace `ArrayList<DeltaSession>` with `LinkedHashSet<DeltaSession>` in the
|
||||
`ThreadLocal` initialiser. `Set.add()` is idempotent so the `contains()` guard
|
||||
is unnecessary and can be removed entirely.
|
||||
|
||||
```java
|
||||
protected final ThreadLocal<LinkedHashSet<DeltaSession>> crossContextSessions = new ThreadLocal<>();
|
||||
|
||||
public void registerReplicationSession(DeltaSession session) {
|
||||
LinkedHashSet<DeltaSession> sessions = crossContextSessions.get();
|
||||
if (sessions != null) {
|
||||
sessions.add(session); // O(1) — Set deduplicates automatically
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Callers that iterate `sessions` (lines 394, 422) are unaffected — `LinkedHashSet`
|
||||
is `Iterable` and preserves insertion order.

# tor-0002: nodelist_add_node_and_family family-ID scan — O(N·F²) smartlist_contains_string
|
||||
|
||||
**Target:** Tor
|
||||
**File:** `src/feature/nodelist/nodelist.c`
|
||||
**Function:** `nodelist_add_node_and_family` / `nodes_have_common_family_id`
|
||||
**CWE:** CWE-407 — Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity
|
||||
**Severity:** HIGH
|
||||
**Status:** PATCHED
|
||||
|
||||
## Description
|
||||
|
||||
`nodelist_add_node_and_family()` adds all relays that share a verified family ID
|
||||
with a given node. The implementation iterates over every node in the consensus
|
||||
(`all_nodes`, size N) and for each pair calls `nodes_have_common_family_id()`:
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
// nodelist.c line 2337-2340
|
||||
SMARTLIST_FOREACH(all_nodes, const node_t *, node2, {
|
||||
if (nodes_have_common_family_id(node, node2)) {
|
||||
smartlist_add(sl, (void *)node2);
|
||||
}
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`nodes_have_common_family_id()` itself is:
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
// nodelist.c line 2190-2200
|
||||
static bool
|
||||
nodes_have_common_family_id(const node_t *a, const node_t *b)
|
||||
{
|
||||
const smartlist_t *ids_a = node_get_family_ids(a);
|
||||
const smartlist_t *ids_b = node_get_family_ids(b);
|
||||
if (ids_a == NULL || ids_b == NULL)
|
||||
return false;
|
||||
SMARTLIST_FOREACH(ids_a, const char *, id, {
|
||||
if (smartlist_contains_string(ids_b, id)) // O(|ids_b|) linear scan
|
||||
return true;
|
||||
});
|
||||
return false;
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`smartlist_contains_string()` performs a full linear scan of `ids_b`.
|
||||
|
||||
Total cost: **O(N × |ids_a| × |ids_b|)** — equivalently O(N·F²) where N is
|
||||
the consensus size (~7 000 relays) and F is family IDs per node. The function
|
||||
is called from path selection during circuit building, which is latency-critical.
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Before the outer `SMARTLIST_FOREACH(all_nodes)` loop, build a string-keyed set
|
||||
from `node`'s own family IDs (the fixed `ids_a`). Then for each `node2`, iterate
|
||||
`node2`'s `ids_b` and perform O(1) lookups against the set. This reduces the
|
||||
per-pair check to **O(|ids_b|)** and the total to **O(N·F)**.
|
||||
|
||||
The patch uses Tor's existing `strmap_t` (string-keyed hash map) as the set:
|
||||
insert each id from `ids_a` once before the outer loop, then call
|
||||
`strmap_get(id_set, id)` inside the inner loop.

# tor-0003: scheduler_kist.c re-add loop — smartlist_contains(cp) O(|cp|) per channel
|
||||
|
||||
**Target:** Tor
|
||||
**File:** `src/core/or/scheduler_kist.c`
|
||||
**Function:** `kist_scheduler_run` (re-add section)
|
||||
**CWE:** CWE-407 — Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity
|
||||
**Severity:** MEDIUM
|
||||
**Status:** PATCHED
|
||||
|
||||
## Description
|
||||
|
||||
At the end of the KIST scheduler's main drain loop, channels that need to be
|
||||
re-added to the pending priority queue are collected in `to_readd`. The guard
|
||||
for re-insertion uses `smartlist_contains(cp, readd_chan)`:
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
// scheduler_kist.c line 756-766
|
||||
SMARTLIST_FOREACH_BEGIN(to_readd, channel_t *, readd_chan) {
|
||||
scheduler_set_channel_state(readd_chan, SCHED_CHAN_PENDING);
|
||||
if (!smartlist_contains(cp, readd_chan)) { // O(|cp|) scan
|
||||
if (!SCHED_BUG(readd_chan->sched_heap_idx != -1, readd_chan)) {
|
||||
/* XXXX Note that the check above is in theory redundant with
|
||||
* the smartlist_contains check. */
|
||||
smartlist_pqueue_add(cp, scheduler_compare_channels,
|
||||
offsetof(channel_t, sched_heap_idx), readd_chan);
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
} SMARTLIST_FOREACH_END(readd_chan);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`smartlist_contains()` does a linear pointer scan of the entire pending-channel
|
||||
list `cp`. The code comment already acknowledges that the inner
|
||||
`sched_heap_idx != -1` check is "in theory redundant" with the O(|cp|) scan —
|
||||
meaning the O(1) O(1) guard is already present but ordered *after* the O(n) one.
|
||||
|
||||
With T channels in `to_readd` and C channels in `cp`, the cost is **O(T·C)**.
|
||||
During high-load periods both lists can hold hundreds of channels.
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Remove the `smartlist_contains(cp, readd_chan)` call entirely. Rely solely on
|
||||
`sched_heap_idx != -1` as the O(1) membership test. A channel is already in `cp`
|
||||
(the pqueue, backed by the same smartlist) if and only if its heap index is set;
|
||||
`smartlist_pqueue_add` maintains this invariant.
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
// After fix:
|
||||
SMARTLIST_FOREACH_BEGIN(to_readd, channel_t *, readd_chan) {
|
||||
scheduler_set_channel_state(readd_chan, SCHED_CHAN_PENDING);
|
||||
if (readd_chan->sched_heap_idx == -1) {
|
||||
smartlist_pqueue_add(cp, scheduler_compare_channels,
|
||||
offsetof(channel_t, sched_heap_idx), readd_chan);
|
||||
}
|
||||
} SMARTLIST_FOREACH_END(readd_chan);

from `ban_start` to the object's own ban pointer:
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
for (b = b0; b != bn; b = VTAILQ_NEXT(b, list)) {
|
||||
CHECK_OBJ_NOTNULL(b, BAN_MAGIC);
|
||||
if (b->flags & BANS_FLAG_COMPLETED)
|
||||
continue;
|
||||
if (ban_evaluate(wrk, b->spec, oc, req->http, &tests))
|
||||
break;
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`ban_evaluate` itself evaluates the ban expression (URL/header regex or field
|
||||
comparison) against the object. The list is kept in insertion order (newest
|
||||
first). An object created at ban-list position K must check K pending bans on
|
||||
every hit until the lurker catches up.
|
||||
|
||||
With B pending bans and H cache hits/second, total `ban_evaluate` calls =
|
||||
O(B × H). A sustained ban workload (e.g., frequent content invalidation) where
|
||||
the lurker falls behind creates a compounding penalty.
|
||||
|
||||
## Impact
|
||||
|
||||
- Workload: 1 000 pending bans × 10 000 cache hits/second = 10 000 000
|
||||
ban_evaluate calls/second before lurker catches up.
|
||||
- `ban_evaluate` walks the binary ban-spec and may execute regex per call.
|
||||
- The per-request path holds `oc->objhead->mtx` for the duration of the loop.
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Two-stage approach:
|
||||
1. The lurker already attempts to pre-test objects and move their `oc->ban`
|
||||
pointer forward. Tuning `ban_lurker_batch` and `ban_lurker_sleep` downward
|
||||
reduces the backlog.
|
||||
2. Structural fix: index bans by the object fields they test (URL prefix,
|
||||
specific header name). A trie keyed on URL or a per-field hash map lets
|
||||
`BAN_CheckObject` skip non-matching bans in O(log B) or O(1) instead of
|
||||
O(B).

# vlc-0001 — module_find() Linear Scan Per Module Existence Check (CWE-407)
|
||||
|
||||
**Status:** PATCHED
|
||||
**Severity:** MEDIUM
|
||||
**Target:** VLC `src/modules/modules.c`
|
||||
**Function:** `module_find()`, `module_exists()`
|
||||
|
||||
## Defect
|
||||
|
||||
`module_find()` allocates and traverses the complete flat module list on every
|
||||
call. `module_list_get()` (bank.c:829) walks all `vlc_plugins` linked-list to
|
||||
build a `malloc`'d `module_t**` array, which is then scanned sequentially for a
|
||||
name match:
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
module_t *module_find(const char *name)
|
||||
{
|
||||
size_t count;
|
||||
module_t **list = module_list_get(&count); // malloc + O(N) build
|
||||
for (size_t i = 0; i < count; i++) // O(N) scan
|
||||
if (!strcmp(module->pp_shortcuts[0], name))
|
||||
...
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`module_exists()` (vlc_modules.h:136) is just `module_find(name) != NULL`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Hot Call Sites
|
||||
|
||||
**`src/audio_output/output.c`** — calls `module_exists()` **5 times in
|
||||
sequence** inside `aout_New()`, triggered once per audio output creation:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
module_exists("goom") // O(N)
|
||||
module_exists("projectm") // O(N)
|
||||
module_exists("vsxu") // O(N)
|
||||
module_exists("glspectrum") // O(N)
|
||||
module_exists("equalizer") // O(N)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Plus one more at line 600: `module_exists("spatialaudio")`. That is 6 × O(N)
|
||||
linear mallocs+scans, each allocating and freeing a full module pointer array.
|
||||
|
||||
**`src/preparser/internal.c:738`** — called inside a `for` loop over all
|
||||
supported thumbnail formats, checking `module_exists(formats[i].module)`.
|
||||
This is O(formats × modules) = O(N²) when the module list is large.
|
||||
|
||||
**`lib/media_player.c:721,732`** — two more calls at player creation.
|
||||
|
||||
## Root Cause
|
||||
|
||||
`module_find` uses no index. The capability-indexed lookup (`module_list_cap`,
|
||||
bank.c:853) correctly uses a `tsearch` balanced BST, but name-based lookup
|
||||
bypasses it entirely. A `g_hash_table` / `uthash` keyed on shortcut name
|
||||
would reduce each call to O(1).
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Add a `name → module_t*` hash table populated during `vlc_bank_Load` / module
|
||||
registration. `module_find()` replaces the scan with a `tfind` or hash
|
||||
lookup. The `module_list_get` alloc is eliminated entirely for existence
|
||||
checks.
|
||||
|
||||
Patch: `defects/vlc/patch/vlc-0001.patch`
|
||||
|
||||
## Complexity
|
||||
|
||||
| | Before | After |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| `module_find` | O(N) + malloc | O(1) |
|
||||
| `module_exists` (×6 in aout) | 6 × O(N) + 6 malloc | 6 × O(1) |
|
||||
| preparser format loop | O(formats × N) | O(formats) |
|
||||
|
||||
## Benchmark
|
||||
|
||||
See `defects/vlc/unit/VlcModuleFindTest.java` — at N=500 modules,
|
||||
6 sequential scans vs 6 hash lookups; scan executes >200× more comparisons.

# wireguard-tools-0001: CLEAN
|
||||
|
||||
**Status:** CLEAN — no CWE-407 defect confirmed
|
||||
|
||||
## Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
`setconf.c` merges file and runtime peer lists via `qsort` + single linear pass — O(n log n),
|
||||
not O(n²).
|
||||
|
||||
`show.c` iterates peers once per display field; no nested peer lookup.
|
||||
|
||||
`config.c` peer parsing is purely sequential; no membership test inside a loop.
|
||||
|
||||
WireGuard tools CLI processes peer counts in the hundreds at most (kernel limit ~1M but
|
||||
CLI is not on any hot TLS/handshake path). No actionable quadratic pattern found.

# zookeeper-0001: PrepRequestProcessor ACL dedup — ArrayList.contains() O(n²)
|
||||
|
||||
**Target:** Apache ZooKeeper
|
||||
**File:** `zookeeper-server/src/main/java/org/apache/zookeeper/server/PrepRequestProcessor.java`
|
||||
**CWE:** CWE-407 — Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity
|
||||
**Severity:** HIGH
|
||||
**Status:** PATCHED
|
||||
|
||||
## Description
|
||||
|
||||
`PrepRequestProcessor.removeDuplicates(List<ACL>)` deduplicates ACL entries using
|
||||
`retval.contains(acl)` where `retval` is an `ArrayList<ACL>`. For n ACL entries this
|
||||
is O(n²). The method is called via `fixupACL()` on **every** `create` and `setACL`
|
||||
request — it sits in the hot request-processing path.
|
||||
|
||||
```java
|
||||
// PrepRequestProcessor.java line 943-957
|
||||
private static List<ACL> removeDuplicates(final List<ACL> acls) {
|
||||
// This would be done better with a Set but ACL hashcode/equals do not
|
||||
// allow for null values
|
||||
final ArrayList<ACL> retval = new ArrayList<>(acls.size());
|
||||
for (final ACL acl : acls) {
|
||||
if (!retval.contains(acl)) { // O(n) per iteration → O(n²) total
|
||||
retval.add(acl);
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
return retval;
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The comment acknowledges the defect but dismisses it on the grounds that `ACL`'s
|
||||
`hashCode`/`equals` "do not allow for null values." In practice `ACL` fields are
|
||||
`Id` objects whose own `hashCode` never returns null — the concern is unfounded.
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Replace the ArrayList accumulator with a `LinkedHashSet<ACL>` (preserves order, O(1)
|
||||
lookup) and return `new ArrayList<>(set)`. Alternatively, add a null-safe comparator
|
||||
and use a `TreeSet`. Either eliminates the O(n²) behaviour.
