# asterisk-0001 — app_meetme: find_conf uses AST_LIST_TRAVERSE on global confs linked list
|
||||
|
||||
**Severity:** MEDIUM
|
||||
**CWE:** CWE-407 (Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity)
|
||||
**Target:** asterisk/asterisk
|
||||
**File:** `apps/app_meetme.c`
|
||||
**Lines:** 1493, 1609, 1669, 1773, 1818, 4117, 4311, 4862, 5032, 5092, 5157, 5232, 5370, 5515
|
||||
|
||||
## Description
|
||||
|
||||
The global conference list `confs` is declared as a linked list:
|
||||
```c
|
||||
static AST_LIST_HEAD_STATIC(confs, ast_conference); /* app_meetme.c:948 */
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Every call to `find_conf()` and `build_conf()` traverses the entire list to
|
||||
locate a conference by its string conference-number:
|
||||
```c
|
||||
/* app_meetme.c:4311 */
|
||||
AST_LIST_LOCK(&confs);
|
||||
AST_LIST_TRAVERSE(&confs, cnf, list) {
|
||||
if (!strcmp(confno, cnf->confno))
|
||||
break;
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`find_conf()` is called:
|
||||
- Once per new channel joining a conference
|
||||
- Repeatedly during DTMF menu processing (one call per key press)
|
||||
- On every AMI `MeetmeList`, `MeetmeMute`, `MeetmeUnmute` action
|
||||
|
||||
With C concurrent conferences the lookup cost is O(C) per operation. The
|
||||
lock (`AST_LIST_LOCK`) serialises all lookups, making this a global
|
||||
bottleneck under high call volume.
|
||||
|
||||
## Complexity
|
||||
|
||||
- **Before:** O(C) locked traversal per conference lookup
|
||||
- **After:** O(1) hash lookup using `ao2_container` keyed on `confno`
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Replace `AST_LIST_HEAD_STATIC(confs, ast_conference)` with an
|
||||
`ao2_container` (hashtable) keyed on `confno`. This matches the pattern
|
||||
already used in `app_confbridge.c` for `conference_bridges`:
|
||||
```c
|
||||
/* app_confbridge.c:924 */
|
||||
return ao2_find(conference_bridges, conference_name, OBJ_KEY);
|
||||
```
|
||||
Provide a hash function on `confno` string and a compare callback.

# asterisk-0002 — app_confbridge: active_list/waiting_list have no channel-name index
|
||||
|
||||
**Severity:** MEDIUM
|
||||
**CWE:** CWE-407 (Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity)
|
||||
**Target:** asterisk/asterisk
|
||||
**File:** `apps/app_confbridge.c`, `apps/confbridge/include/confbridge.h`
|
||||
**Lines:** confbridge.h:260-261, app_confbridge.c:1757, 1768, 3387, 3468, 3687
|
||||
|
||||
## Description
|
||||
|
||||
`confbridge_conference` stores participants as two plain linked lists:
|
||||
```c
|
||||
/* confbridge.h:260-261 */
|
||||
AST_LIST_HEAD_NOLOCK(, confbridge_user) active_list;
|
||||
AST_LIST_HEAD_NOLOCK(, confbridge_user) waiting_list;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Every operation that identifies a user by channel name (kick, mute, unmute,
|
||||
video-source selection, AMI/ARI events) traverses the entire list:
|
||||
```c
|
||||
/* app_confbridge.c:1757-1776 */
|
||||
AST_LIST_TRAVERSE(&conference->active_list, user, list) {
|
||||
if (strcasecmp(ast_channel_name(user->chan),
|
||||
old_snapshot->base->name) == 0) {
|
||||
found_user = 1;
|
||||
break;
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
if (!found_user && conference->waitingusers) {
|
||||
AST_LIST_TRAVERSE(&conference->waiting_list, user, list) {
|
||||
if (strcasecmp(ast_channel_name(user->chan), ...) == 0) { ... }
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
There are at least 12 traversal sites in `app_confbridge.c`. In a
|
||||
conference with P participants each AMI/ARI kick/mute costs O(P). A
|
||||
conference of 500 participants (common for webinar/town-hall use cases) with
|
||||
frequent moderator actions creates quadratic work per conference.
|
||||
|
||||
## Complexity
|
||||
|
||||
- **Before:** O(P) per user-by-name lookup across P participants
|
||||
- **After:** O(1) with an `ao2_container` keyed on channel name
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Add an `ao2_container *users_by_name` field to `confbridge_conference`,
|
||||
keyed on `ast_channel_name(user->chan)`. Link/unlink on join/leave.
|
||||
Replace all `AST_LIST_TRAVERSE` + `strcasecmp` patterns with a single
|
||||
`ao2_find(conference->users_by_name, channel_name, OBJ_SEARCH_KEY)`.

# dendrite-0001: CWE-407 in dendrite — syncapi storage WriteEvent prevEvents O(P²) double loop
|
||||
|
||||
**Severity:** HIGH
|
||||
**File:** `syncapi/storage/shared/storage_consumer.go:243`
|
||||
**Pattern:**
|
||||
```go
|
||||
prevEvents, err := d.OutputEvents.SelectEvents(ctx, txn, ev.PrevEventIDs(), nil, false)
|
||||
// ...
|
||||
for _, eID := range ev.PrevEventIDs() { // O(P) prev event IDs
|
||||
found = false
|
||||
for _, prevEv := range prevEvents { // O(E) events returned from DB
|
||||
if eID == prevEv.EventID() { // O(1) string comparison
|
||||
found = true
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
if !found {
|
||||
// insert backward extremity
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
**Complexity:** O(P × E) — nested loops over prev event IDs and fetched events, run on every event written to sync storage
|
||||
**Fix:** Build a `map[string]bool` from `prevEvents` before the outer loop: `prevEventSet[prevEv.EventID()] = true`, then `if !prevEventSet[eID]`
|
||||
**Speedup:** 50–200× for P=E=50 (federation bursts with many prev events)
|
||||
**Hot path:** `WriteEvent()` — called for every event written to sync API storage (all Matrix room traffic)

# dendrite-0002: CWE-407 in dendrite — backfill ServersAtEvent bwExtrems nested loop
|
||||
|
||||
**Severity:** MEDIUM
|
||||
**File:** `roomserver/internal/perform/perform_backfill.go:438`
|
||||
**Pattern:**
|
||||
```go
|
||||
successor := ""
|
||||
FindSuccessor:
|
||||
for sucID, prevEventIDs := range b.bwExtrems { // O(E) backward extremities
|
||||
for _, pe := range prevEventIDs { // O(P) prev events per extremity

if pe == eventID { // O(1) string comparison
|
||||
successor = sucID
|
||||
break FindSuccessor
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
**Complexity:** O(E × P) — scans all backward extremities × all prev event IDs to find a successor
|
||||
**Fix:** Pre-build a reverse map `prevToSuccessor map[string]string` when `bwExtrems` is populated, then `successor = prevToSuccessor[eventID]`
|
||||
**Speedup:** 100–1000× for rooms with large backward extremity sets (E=100 extremities, P=10 prev events each)
|
||||
**Hot path:** `ServersAtEvent()` — called for every backfill request, which occurs frequently during federation room catch-up

# dovecot-0001 — Quadratic dsync keyword matching via linear array scan
|
||||
|
||||
**Target:** Dovecot core (dovecot/core)
|
||||
**Severity:** LOW-MEDIUM
|
||||
**CWE:** CWE-407 (Algorithmic Complexity — Quadratic)
|
||||
**Status:** PATCHED (patch/dovecot-0001.patch)
|
||||
|
||||
## Summary
|
||||
|
||||
`dsync_mail_change_have_keyword()` in
|
||||
`doveadm/dsync/dsync-mailbox-import.c` uses `array_foreach_elem` to
|
||||
linearly scan all keyword changes O(K) to find a single keyword match.
|
||||
It is called for every mail change record when `importer->sync_keyword`
|
||||
is set (i.e., when the user runs `doveadm sync -k <keyword>`).
|
||||
With M mail changes and K keyword-change entries per change record,
|
||||
the total cost is O(M × K).
|
||||
|
||||
For a mailbox being sync'd with M=50 000 messages and K=20 keyword changes
|
||||
per message, this is 1 000 000 string comparisons during the sync pass.
|
||||
|
||||
## Location
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
src/doveadm/dsync/dsync-mailbox-import.c
|
||||
lines 1336-1354 dsync_mail_change_have_keyword() — O(K) array_foreach_elem
|
||||
line 1400 called inside dsync_mailbox_import_want_change()
|
||||
which is called per mail change during import
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Root Cause
|
||||
|
||||
`change->keyword_changes` is an `ARRAY_TYPE(const_string)` (dynamic array).
|
||||
`dsync_mail_change_have_keyword` iterates it with `array_foreach_elem` performing
|
||||
`strcasecmp` per element. No hash set is maintained for the keyword change list.
|
||||
The function is called repeatedly for the same `change` object when testing
|
||||
multiple keywords, but the scan is repeated in full each time.
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
When `sync_keyword` is set, pre-build a `hash_table_t` of `KEYWORD_CHANGE_FINAL`
|
||||
and `KEYWORD_CHANGE_ADD_AND_FINAL` keywords from `change->keyword_changes` before
|
||||
the main import loop begins, or build a per-change `p_hash_table` at first access.
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively, since `sync_keyword` is a single string, sort
|
||||
`change->keyword_changes` at construction time and binary-search for the target
|
||||
prefix substring (O(log K) per lookup).
|
||||
|
||||
## Complexity
|
||||
|
||||
- Slow: O(M × K) — M mail changes × K keyword-change entries per change
|
||||
- Fast: O(M) — O(1) hash lookup per mail change
|
||||
- Speedup at M=50000, K=20: ~20×

# ejabberd-0001 — mod_mam: lists:member on archive-prefs lists called per-message
|
||||
|
||||
**Severity:** HIGH
|
||||
**CWE:** CWE-407 (Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity)
|
||||
**Target:** processone/ejabberd
|
||||
**File:** `src/mod_mam.erl`
|
||||
**Lines:** 1029, 1033
|
||||
|
||||
## Description
|
||||
|
||||
`should_archive_peer/4` is called for every message that ejabberd considers
|
||||
archiving (XEP-0313 Message Archive Management). It checks whether the
|
||||
peer JID appears in the user's `always` or `never` preference lists using
|
||||
`lists:member/2`, which is O(n) on the list length.
|
||||
|
||||
The `archive_prefs` record stores `always` and `never` as plain Erlang lists
|
||||
(`[ljid()]`). A user who has whitelisted or blacklisted many contacts
|
||||
causes every inbound/outbound message to pay a linear scan cost.
|
||||
|
||||
```erlang
|
||||
%% src/mod_mam.erl:1028-1040
|
||||
should_archive_peer(LUser, LServer,
|
||||
#archive_prefs{default = Default, always = Always, never = Never},
|
||||
Peer) ->
|
||||
LPeer = jid:remove_resource(jid:tolower(Peer)),
|
||||
case lists:member(LPeer, Always) of %% O(|Always|) per message
|
||||
true -> true;
|
||||
false ->
|
||||
case lists:member(LPeer, Never) of %% O(|Never|) per message
|
||||
true -> false;
|
||||
false -> ...
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Complexity
|
||||
|
||||
- **Before:** O(|Always| + |Never|) per archived message
|
||||
- **After:** O(1) per archived message (gb_sets or maps lookup)
|
||||
|
||||
At 1 000 messages/s with 200-entry always/never lists the server executes
|
||||
~200 000 needless list comparisons per second in this one function alone.
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Change the `always` and `never` fields of `#archive_prefs{}` from `[ljid()]`
|
||||
to `gb_sets:set(ljid())` (or `#{ljid() => true}` map). Replace
|
||||
`lists:member/2` with `gb_sets:is_member/2` (O(log n)) or `maps:is_key/2`
|
||||
(O(1)). Update `write_prefs`/`get_prefs` serialisation accordingly.

# ejabberd-0002 — mod_shared_roster: lists:member on group-users list in subscription path
|
||||
|
||||
**Severity:** MEDIUM
|
||||
**CWE:** CWE-407 (Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity)
|
||||
**Target:** processone/ejabberd
|
||||
**File:** `src/mod_shared_roster.erl`
|
||||
**Lines:** 661, 356
|
||||
|
||||
## Description
|
||||
|
||||
Two sites in `mod_shared_roster` call `lists:member/2` against a freshly
|
||||
built list of all users in a group:
|
||||
|
||||
**Site 1 — `is_user_in_group/3` (line 661):**
|
||||
```erlang
|
||||
is_user_in_group(US, Group, Host) ->
|
||||
Mod = gen_mod:db_mod(Host, ?MODULE),
|
||||
case Mod:is_user_in_group(US, Group, Host) of
|
||||
false ->
|
||||
lists:member(US, get_group_users(Host, Group)); %% O(n_group_members)
|
||||
true -> true
|
||||
end.
|
||||
```
|
||||
`get_group_users/2` returns a plain list built by concatenating all_users,
|
||||
online_users, and explicit members. For a "all_users" group this is every
|
||||
user on the server.
|
||||
|
||||
**Site 2 — `process_subscription/6` (line 356):**
|
||||
```erlang
|
||||
SRUsers = lists:usort(lists:flatmap(fun(Group) ->
|
||||
get_group_users(LServer, Group)
|
||||
end, DisplayedGroups)),
|
||||
case lists:member(US1, SRUsers) of %% O(n_all_users_in_all_displayed_groups)
|
||||
```
|
||||
Called on every inbound/outbound subscription stanza.
|
||||
|
||||
## Complexity
|
||||
|
||||
- **Before:** O(n_group_members) per is_user_in_group call, O(n_total_sr_users)
|
||||
per subscription
|
||||
- **After:** O(1) using a gb_set or map built once from the group user list
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
In `is_user_in_group/3`, build a `gb_sets:from_list(get_group_users(...))`
|
||||
and use `gb_sets:is_member/2`. Better: expose a `is_user_in_group_fast/3`
|
||||
that queries the DB directly without building the list (the Mnesia/SQL
|
||||
backends can do a point-lookup).
|
||||
|
||||
In `process_subscription/6`, replace `lists:member(US1, SRUsers)` with
|
||||
`gb_sets:is_member(US1, gb_sets:from_list(SRUsers))` or cache the set.

# element-web-0001: CWE-407 in element-web — TextForEvent power level users.indexOf quadratic dedup
|
||||
|
||||
**Severity:** MEDIUM
|

**File:** `apps/web/src/TextForEvent.tsx:503`

|
||||
if (users.indexOf(userId) === -1) users.push(userId); // O(n) per insert
|

|
||||
```
|
||||
**Complexity:** O(N²) — `indexOf` is O(n) called inside two O(n) forEach loops; total O((A + B) × (A + B)) for A and B users in content/prevContent
|
||||
**Fix:** Use a `Set<string>` for deduplication: `const userSet = new Set([...Object.keys(event.getContent().users), ...Object.keys(event.getPrevContent().users)])`

# freeswitch-0001 — mod_conference.c: relationship list scan inside per-sample audio mixing (O(M²·R·S))
|
||||
|
||||
**Severity:** CRITICAL
|
||||
**File:** `src/mod/applications/mod_conference/mod_conference.c`
|
||||
**Lines:** 617-673 (audio mixing loop)
|
||||
|
||||
## Pattern

```c
|
||||
// Outer: for each output member
|
||||
for (omember = conference->members; omember; omember = omember->next) {
|
||||

```
|

`conference_relationship_t` is a singly-linked list (mod_conference.h:770-774).
|
||||
The innermost relationship scan is O(R) per (omember, imember, sample) triple.
|
||||
|
||||
## Complexity
|
||||
|
||||
O(S × M × M × R) per mix cycle where:
|
||||
- S = samples per frame (typically 160 at 8kHz/20ms)
|
||||
- M = member count
|
||||
- R = relationships per member
|
||||

||||
At M=20 members, S=160, R=5 relationships: 20×20×160×5 = **3,200,000 ops per mix cycle** (50Hz).
|
||||
= **160M ops/sec** just for relationship scanning, all inside a mutex-held loop.
|
||||
|
||||
## Root Cause
|
||||
|
||||
The relationship check is nested inside the per-sample loop. The relationship result
|
||||
(can A hear B?) does not change per-sample — it only changes on relationship updates.
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
**Pre-compute relationship matrix outside the sample loop:**
|
||||
|
||||
Before `for (x = 0; x < bytes/2; x++)`, build a boolean matrix or set:
|
||||
```c
|
||||
// Per mixing frame (outside sample loop):
|
||||
// For each (omember, imember) pair, check relationships once → store in a bitmask
|
||||
// Then the per-sample loop just does: if (exclude_matrix[omember_idx][imember_idx]) z -= rptr[x];
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Alternative: use `switch_core_hash` keyed by `(omember->id << 32) | imember->id` for O(1) lookup,
|
||||
pre-computed at frame start, invalidated only on `conference_member_add_relationship()`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Speedup (estimated)
|
||||
|
||||
Relationship check moves from O(R) inside O(S×M²) to O(1) table lookup: **~500× at M=20, R=5**.
|
||||
Full fix moves relationship resolution entirely outside the sample loop: O(S×M²) → O(M²+S×M).

# jami-daemon-0001: std::find on replies vector O(n) per git commit in conversation history load
|
||||
|
||||
**Target:** savoirfairelinux/jami-daemon
|
||||
**Severity:** MEDIUM
|
||||
**CWE:** CWE-407 (Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity)
|
||||
**File:** `src/jamidht/conversation.cpp`
|
||||
**Lines:** 832, 837
|
||||
**Status:** PATCHED
|
||||
|
||||
## Description
|
||||
|
||||
`Conversation::loadMessages()` walks the conversation git log via a callback
|
||||
(`emplaceCb`). For each commit it performs two `std::find` scans on the
|
||||
`replies` vector:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Line 832: Check if `message["reply-to"]` is already tracked.
|
||||
2. Line 837: Remove `message["id"]` from the tracked set.
|
||||
|
||||
`replies` is a `std::vector<std::string>` that grows as threaded messages
|
||||
accumulate. If the conversation contains R reply-chains the cost per commit
|
||||
is O(R), and with C total commits the history load is O(C × R).
|
||||
|
||||
Conversations with long threaded discussions (common in P2P group chats) will
|
||||
exhibit quadratic load times when loading or syncing history.
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
// conversation.cpp:783
|
||||
std::vector<std::string> replies;
|
||||
...
|
||||
// emplaceCb called once per git commit:
|
||||
if (message.find("reply-to") != message.end()) {
|
||||
auto it = std::find(replies.begin(), replies.end(), message.at("reply-to")); // O(R)
|
||||
if (it == replies.end()) {
|
||||
replies.emplace_back(message.at("reply-to"));
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
auto it = std::find(replies.begin(), replies.end(), message.at("id")); // O(R)
|
||||
if (it != replies.end()) {
|
||||
replies.erase(it);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Replace `std::vector<std::string> replies` with `std::unordered_set<std::string>`:
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
std::unordered_set<std::string> replies;
|
||||
...
|
||||
if (message.find("reply-to") != message.end()) {
|
||||
replies.insert(message.at("reply-to")); // O(1) avg
|
||||
}
|
||||
auto eraseIt = replies.find(message.at("id")); // O(1) avg
|
||||
if (eraseIt != replies.end()) {
|
||||
replies.erase(eraseIt);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Erase-by-iterator on `unordered_set` is O(1) amortized, eliminating the O(R)
|
||||
scan entirely.
|
||||
|
||||
## Complexity

||||
|
||||
| | Before | After |

||||
|-|--------|-------|
|

| Per commit | O(R) | O(1) amortized |
|
||||
| Full load (C commits, R replies) | O(C × R) | O(C) |
|
||||
|
||||
For a conversation with 1 000 commits and 200 reply-chains: 200 000 → 1 000
|
||||
operations — 200× speedup.

# jami-daemon-0002: std::find (algorithm) used on std::set<string> members — bypasses O(log n) set.find()

## Description
|
||||
|
||||
`ConvInfo::members` is declared as `std::set<std::string>` (conversation.h:133).
|
||||
Three sites in `conversation_module.cpp` call the generic `std::find()` algorithm
|
||||
from `<algorithm>` on its iterators instead of calling the set's own `.find()`
|
||||
member, which uses the tree structure for O(log n) lookup.
|
||||
|
||||
`std::find(set.begin(), set.end(), key)` degrades to O(n) linear scan because
|
||||
the algorithm iterator does not know about the underlying red-black tree.

||||

||||

|
||||
| line 2797 | `removeContact()` lambda | `std::find(members.begin(), ..., uri)` |
|
||||
|
||||
`needsSyncingWith()` is called inside a loop over all conversations, making
|
||||
the total work O(conversations × members) instead of O(conversations × log members).
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
// Before (O(n)):
|
||||
std::find(conv->info.members.begin(), conv->info.members.end(), peer) != conv->info.members.end()
|
||||
|
||||
// After (O(log n)):
|
||||
conv->info.members.count(peer) > 0
|
||||
// or equivalently:
|
||||
conv->info.members.find(peer) != conv->info.members.end()
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Apply the same fix at all three sites.

## Pattern
|
||||
|

`conferenceSources.forEach { source -> if (selectedSourceNames.contains(source.sourceName)) ... }`
|
||||
|
||||
`selectedSourceNames` is `List<String>` — O(n) scan per source.
|

Also `sortBy { selectedSourceNames.indexOf(it.sourceName) }` — O(n) indexOf per sort comparison → O(n² log n).
|

## Complexity

- `contains` loop: O(|conferenceSources| × |selectedSourceNames|)

`prioritize()` is called on every bandwidth allocation cycle (per BandwidthAllocator.update()).
|
||||
In a 100-participant conference both lists can reach N=100+ sources.
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Pre-build `val selectedSet = selectedSourceNames.toHashSet()` before the `forEach`.
|
||||
Pre-build `val selectedIndex = selectedSourceNames.withIndex().associate { (i, s) -> s to i }` before `sortBy`.
|
||||
|

Replace `selectedSourceNames.contains(...)` → `selectedSet.contains(...)`.

```
|

`selectedSources` is `MutableList<String>` — `.contains()` is O(n) scan per element of `selectedSources`.
|

Result is O(|onStage| × |selected|).
|
||||
|

## Complexity
|

O(|onStageSources| × |selectedSources|). In conferences with many pinned sources (tile view) both lists

grow to O(N). Called every allocation cycle.
|

## Fix

Use `LinkedHashSet` to build the deduped list in O(1) per insertion:

A `LinkedHashSet` for `endpointsBySpeechActivity` would make line 331 O(1) always,

use a `LinkedHashSet<AbstractEndpoint>` for the membership check only.

## Description
|
||||
|

performs a nested loop to verify each requested name exists in the result:

Total work: O(n × m) where n = len(roleNames) and m = len(roles).

||||
|
||||
This function is called from `UpdateUserRoles` on user role assignment
|
||||
(user.go:1944), which can be triggered at login or privilege change.
|
||||
While the number of roles is typically small (<50), the pattern is
|
||||
categorically incorrect and sets a bad example.
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Build a set from the returned roles first:
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
roleSet := make(map[string]bool, len(roles))

# opensmtpd-0001 — Quadratic per-envelope rule evaluation via TAILQ linear scan
|
||||
|
||||
**Target:** OpenSMTPD (OpenSMTPD/OpenSMTPD)
|
||||
**Severity:** MEDIUM
|
||||
**CWE:** CWE-407 (Algorithmic Complexity — Quadratic)
|
||||
**Status:** PATCHED (patch/opensmtpd-0001.patch)
|
||||
|
||||
## Summary
|
||||
|
||||
`ruleset_match()` in `smtpd/ruleset.c` traverses the entire rule list with
|
||||
`TAILQ_FOREACH` — O(R) for R rules — on every envelope lookup.
|
||||
`ruleset_match()` is called from `lka_session.c:311` for each expansion node
|
||||
(i.e., each recipient address). With R rules and M recipient addresses,
|
||||
the total cost is O(R × M).
|
||||
|
||||
A large mail gateway with R=300 policy rules forwarding a mailing-list message
|
||||
to M=500 recipients makes 150 000 rule evaluations per message, all on the
|
||||
LKA (lookup agent) critical path.
|
||||
|
||||
## Location
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
usr.sbin/smtpd/ruleset.c
|
||||
line 234 TAILQ_FOREACH(r, env->sc_rules, r_entry) — O(R) per envelope
|
||||
|
||||
usr.sbin/smtpd/lka_session.c
|
||||
line 311 rule = ruleset_match(&ep) — called per recipient/expansion node
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Root Cause
|
||||
|
||||
`env->sc_rules` is a `TAILQ` (doubly-linked list). `ruleset_match()` walks every
|
||||
rule from head to tail until a match is found. Rules are parsed at startup and
|
||||
inserted in order; no indexing or hash dispatch is built. For the common case where
|
||||
the first-matching rule is determined by the `from` domain or `to` domain, the
|
||||
entire list must be scanned until that rule is found.
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Build a dispatch map from `(domain → rule_list)` at startup for the dominant
|
||||
`ruleset_match_to` and `ruleset_match_from` criteria:
|
||||
|
||||
1. At `smtpd_configure()`, iterate `sc_rules` once and group rules by their
|
||||
`table_for` / `table_from` domain if those fields are simple strings.
|
||||
2. In `ruleset_match()`, do a `dict_get()` on `evp->dest.domain` to fetch
|
||||
the candidate subset (typically 1-3 rules) and evaluate only those.
|
||||
3. Fall back to the full TAILQ scan for rules with wildcard/regex from/to.
|
||||
|
||||
## Complexity
|
||||
|
||||
- Slow: O(R × M) — R rules × M recipient addresses per message
|
||||
- Fast: O(M) — O(1) dict lookup per address selects candidate rules
|
||||
- Speedup at R=300, M=500: ~300×

|
||||
`string_list_match()` for each of `virtual_alias_domains`, `virtual_mailbox_domains`,
|
||||
and `relay_domains` on **every** RCPT-TO command and every queued recipient during
|
||||
delivery. `string_list_match()` iterates linearly through an `ARGV` of inline domain
|
||||
patterns (O(K) per call). With K inline domain patterns and M recipients per message,
|
||||
the total cost is O(K × M).
|
||||
|
||||
At a shared hosting provider with K=500 inline virtual domains and a mailing list
|
||||
message with M=1000 recipients, this is 500 000 string comparisons per message, all
|
||||
on the critical-path of the trivial-rewrite daemon.

||||

match_list_match() — iterates list->patterns->argv linearly O(K)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Root Cause
|
||||
|
||||
`string_list_match` is an alias for `match_list_match`. When all patterns are
|
||||
inline strings (not `type:table` references), `match_list_match` does a
|
||||
`for (cpp = list->patterns->argv; ...; cpp++)` linear scan — a strcmp per element.
|
||||
The `MATCH_LIST` structure stores patterns in an `ARGV` (plain pointer array) with
|
||||
no hash index.
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Pre-build a `HTABLE` (Postfix's hash table) from the `MATCH_LIST` patterns on
|
||||
`match_list_init()` for the inline-string subset. On `match_list_match()`, check
|
||||
the hash table first (O(1)); fall through to the linear scan only for patterns that
|
||||
are wildcards, files, or type:table references.
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively: convert `virt_alias_doms`, `virt_mailbox_doms`, and `relay_domains`
|
||||
to `hash:` or `inline:` table type in the config, which already gives O(1) via
|
||||
`dict_get()`. Document this as a required configuration for high-recipient-count sites.
|
||||
|
||||
## Complexity
|
||||
|
||||
- Slow: O(K × M) — K patterns × M recipients
|
||||
- Fast: O(M) — one O(1) hash lookup per recipient
|
||||
- Speedup at K=500, M=1000: ~500×

# postfix-0002 — Quadratic address masquerade exception check
|
||||
|
||||
**Target:** Postfix (vdukhovni/postfix mirror of postfix.org)
|
||||
**Severity:** MEDIUM
|
||||
**CWE:** CWE-407 (Algorithmic Complexity — Quadratic)
|
||||
**Status:** PATCHED (patch/postfix-0002.patch)
|
||||
|
||||
## Summary
|
||||
|
||||
`cleanup_masquerade_external()` in `cleanup/cleanup_masquerade.c` calls
|
||||
`string_list_match(cleanup_masq_exceptions, name)` for every address in a message's
|
||||
envelope and headers. `string_list_match` is O(E) for E inline exception patterns.
|
||||
The function is also called for each BCC auto-expansion address. With E exceptions
|
||||
and N total addresses per message the cost is O(N × E).
|
||||
|
||||
Additionally, the masquerade-domain loop inside the same function
|
||||
(`for (masqp = masq_domains->argv; ...; masqp++)`) is O(D) per address,
|
||||
giving O(N × D) for D masquerade domains.
|
||||
|
||||
A message with 500 To/Cc recipients and a `masquerade_exceptions` list of 200
|
||||
user names produces 100 000 string comparisons in the cleanup daemon per message.
|
||||
|
||||
## Location
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
postfix/src/cleanup/cleanup_masquerade.c
|
||||
line 108 string_list_match(cleanup_masq_exceptions, name) — O(E) per address
|
||||
line 125 for (masqp = masq_domains->argv; ...) — O(D) per address
|
||||
|
||||
postfix/src/cleanup/cleanup_addr.c
|
||||
line 150 cleanup_masquerade_internal(state, clean_addr, cleanup_masq_domains)
|
||||
line 218 cleanup_masquerade_internal(state, clean_addr, cleanup_masq_domains)
|
||||
line 277 cleanup_masquerade_internal(state, clean_addr, cleanup_masq_domains)

|
||||
postfix/src/cleanup/cleanup_message.c
|
||||
line 187 cleanup_masquerade_tree(...)
|
||||
line 244 cleanup_masquerade_tree(...)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Root Cause
|
||||
|
||||
`string_list_match(cleanup_masq_exceptions, name)` performs a linear ARGV scan for
|
||||
each address. `cleanup_masq_exceptions` is initialized once from `var_masq_exceptions`
|
||||
at startup but never converted to a hash structure. The masquerade domains array is
|
||||
also a raw `ARGV *` with no hash index, scanned linearly for every address processed.
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
1. Convert `cleanup_masq_exceptions` from `STRING_LIST` (linear `ARGV`) to
|
||||
`HTABLE *` (Postfix hash table) at initialization time: one O(E) pass at startup,
|
||||
then O(1) per lookup.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Sort `masq_domains->argv` at initialization and binary-search on match;
|
||||
or build a parallel `HTABLE *` for exact-match domains.
|
||||
|
||||
## Complexity
|
||||
|
||||
- Slow: O(N × (E + D)) — N addresses × E exceptions × D masq domains
|
||||
- Fast: O(N) — O(1) hash lookup per address for both exceptions and domains
|
||||
- Speedup at N=500, E=200, D=50: ~250×

# prosody-0001 — CLEAN
|
||||
|
||||
**Target:** prosody/prosody (Lua)
|
||||
**Verdict:** No CWE-407 defect found in hot paths
|
||||
|
||||
## Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
Prosody uses hash tables (Lua tables as dicts) throughout its hot paths:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Roster:** `self._affiliations` is a hash keyed by bare JID — O(1) lookup
|
||||
- **Session management:** `host.sessions[username].sessions[resource]` —
|
||||
nested hash, O(1) per lookup
|
||||
- **MUC affiliations:** `room._affiliations[bare]` — O(1) hash lookup
|
||||
(`muc/muc.lib.lua:1386`)
|
||||
- **MUC occupants:** stored as `room._occupants[nick]` — O(1)
|
||||
- **util/set.lua:** `set:contains(item)` uses `items[item]` — O(1) hash
|
||||
|
||||
The one linear-scan helper found:
|
||||
```lua
|
||||
-- util/prosodyctl/check.lua:327 (admin CLI path only)
|
||||
local function contains_match(hayset, needle)
|
||||
for member in hayset do
|
||||
if member:find(needle) then return true end
|
||||
end
|
||||
end
|
||||
```
|
||||
This is executed only during `prosodyctl check`, an administrator diagnostic
|
||||
command run infrequently from the command line. Not a hot path. Not a
|
||||
CWE-407 defect.
|
||||
|
||||
**Result: CLEAN**

|
||||
|
||||
## Description
|
||||
|
||||
`sendMessageNotifications()` iterates over all room subscriptions (up to
|
||||
thousands for large channels) and for each subscriber calls `sendNotification()`
|
||||
which does `mentionIds.includes(subscription.u._id)` — an O(M) scan of the
|
||||
mention-IDs array — every iteration. The outer `subscriptions.forEach` at line
|
||||
364 also passes `usersInThread?.includes(subscription.u._id)` inline.
|
||||
|
||||
Both `mentionIds` and `usersInThread` are plain `string[]` arrays. For a
|
||||
channel with S subscribers and M mentions / T thread participants the work is
|
||||
O(S × M) and O(S × T) respectively. On a large room (S = 10 000, M = 50,
|
||||
T = 200) that is 500 000 + 2 000 000 = 2.5 M unnecessary comparisons per
|
||||
message.

## Root cause

|

```
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||

```typescript
|

const mentionIdSet = new Set(mentionIds);
|
||||
const usersInThreadSet = new Set(usersInThread ?? []);

subscriptions.forEach(

(subscription) =>
|

void sendNotification({
|

...
|

mentionIdSet,
|
||||
hasReplyToThread: usersInThreadSet.has(subscription.u._id), // O(1)
|
||||
}),

## Description

**CWE:** CWE-407 (Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity)
|
||||
|
||||
## Description
|
||||
|
||||
`APIMembersRole` calls `foldr'` over all group members, and for every member
|
||||
performs `groupMemberId \`elem\` memberIds` where `memberIds :: NonEmpty
|
||||
GroupMemberId` is a plain Haskell list. `elem` on a list is O(K) where K =
|
||||
length memberIds. The fold iterates M members. Total: **O(M × K)**.
|
||||
|
||||
The identical fix already exists in `APIRemoveMembers` (line 2428):
|
||||
`gmIds = S.fromList $ L.toList groupMemberIds` followed by `S.member`.
|
||||
`APIMembersRole` and `APIBlockMembersForAll` were simply not updated at the
|
||||
same time.

||||

|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Pre-build `S.Set GroupMemberId` from `memberIds` before the fold:
|
||||
|
||||
```haskell
|
||||
let gmIdSet = S.fromList (L.toList memberIds)
|
||||
selfSelected GroupInfo {membership} = S.member (groupMemberId' membership) gmIdSet

At M=1000 members, K=10 selected: ~40× speedup measured (see unit test).
|
||||
|
||||
## Hot Path
|
||||
|
||||
Every admin role-change operation on a large group triggers this path once.

In a group with 1000 members and a multi-member role change (K=10), this

|
||||
- `members :: [GroupMember]` — all group members (M items)
|
||||
- `introducedGMIds :: [GroupMemberId]` — already-introduced members (K items)
|
||||
|
||||
It then calls:
|
||||
|
||||
```haskell
|
||||
let recipients = filter (introduceMemP introducedGMIds) members
|
||||
where
|
||||
introduceMemP introducedGMIds mem =
|
||||
memberCurrent mem
|
||||
&& groupMemberId' mem `notElem` introducedGMIds -- O(K) per member
|
||||
&& groupMemberId' mem /= groupMemberId' m
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For each of the M members, `notElem` walks the full `introducedGMIds` list:
|
||||
**O(M × K)** total.
|
||||
|
||||
`getIntroducedGroupMemberIds` is declared as returning `IO [GroupMemberId]`
|
||||
(Store/Groups.hs:1740) — a plain list.
|
||||
|
||||
This function is called every time a new member joins a group and introductions
|
||||
to remaining un-introduced members must be sent — a hot path in group join
|
||||
flows that scales quadratically with group membership.
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Convert `introducedGMIds` to a `S.Set GroupMemberId` before the filter:
|
||||
|
||||
```haskell
|
||||
let introducedSet = S.fromList introducedGMIds
|
||||
recipients = filter (introduceMemP introducedSet) members
|
||||
where
|
||||
introduceMemP introducedSet mem =
|
||||
memberCurrent mem
|
||||
&& groupMemberId' mem `S.notMember` introducedSet
|
||||
&& groupMemberId' mem /= groupMemberId' m
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`S` is already imported as `qualified Data.Set as S` in this module (line 46).
|
||||
|
||||
## Complexity
|
||||
|
||||
| Before | After |
|
||||
|--------|-------|
|
||||
| O(M × K) per join event | O(M + K) per join event |

||||

At M=1000, K=900 (near-full group): ~900× reduction in comparisons.

# unrealircd-0001: has_common_channels() O(c1×c2) quadratic membership test
|
||||
|
||||
**Target:** unrealircd/unrealircd
|
||||
**Severity:** HIGH
|
||||
**CWE:** CWE-407 (Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity)
|
||||
**File:** `src/channel.c:1282`
|
||||
**Status:** PATCHED
|
||||
|
||||
## Description
|
||||
|
||||
`has_common_channels(Client *c1, Client *c2)` walks c1's channel membership
|
||||
linked list (`c1->user->channel`), and for each channel calls `IsMember(c2,
|
||||
chan)`. The `IsMember` macro expands to `find_membership_link(c2->user->channel,
|
||||
chan)` which is an O(n) walk of c2's channel linked list.
|
||||
|
||||
Result: O(c1_channels × c2_channels) per call — quadratic in channel membership.
|
||||
|
||||
## Hot paths
|
||||
|
||||
- `who_old.c:529` — `/WHO` with common-channel filter calls `has_common_channels`
|
||||
per target in a global client scan → O(U × C²) per WHO request (U=users, C=channels/user)
|
||||
- `who_old.c:556` — `/WHO` visibility check: `has_common_channels` for every
|
||||
invisible user in the global list
|
||||
- `extended-monitor.c:130` — MONITOR notification fires `has_common_channels`
|
||||
before delivering each extended-monitor event to a watcher
|
||||
|
||||
## Root cause
|
||||
|
||||
`find_membership_link()` is a `while(lp) lp=lp->next` linked-list scan
|
||||
(channel.c:100–113). No hash index exists for the membership relation.
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
// channel.c:100 — O(n) walk
|
||||
Member *find_member_link(Member *lp, Client *ptr) {
|
||||
while (lp) {
|
||||
if (lp->client == ptr) return lp;
|
||||
lp = lp->next;
|
||||
}
|
||||
return NULL;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// channel.c:1282 — O(c1 × c2)
|
||||
int has_common_channels(Client *c1, Client *c2) {
|
||||
for (lp = c1->user->channel; lp; lp = lp->next)
|
||||
if (IsMember(c2, lp->channel) && ...) // IsMember = find_membership_link = O(c2_chans)
|
||||
return 1;
|
||||
return 0;
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Build a `Channel*` hash set from c2's membership list before the outer loop
|
||||
so the inner `IsMember` test becomes O(1).
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
int has_common_channels(Client *c1, Client *c2) {
|
||||
// Build O(1) lookup set for c2's channels
|
||||
// Then iterate c1's channels with O(1) set membership test
|
||||
// Total: O(c1_channels + c2_channels)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
In practice, since channel counts per user are bounded (e.g. ≤100) the absolute
|
||||
numbers are small, but on large IRCd networks with busy /WHO floods or large
|
||||
MONITOR lists this creates measurable server stalls.
|
||||
|
||||
## Ops/ns numbers (Java benchmark)
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||

# unrealircd-0002: SJOIN member loop calls find_membership_link() O(M×C)
|
||||
|
||||
**Target:** unrealircd/unrealircd
|
||||
**Severity:** MEDIUM
|
||||
**CWE:** CWE-407 (Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity)
|
||||
**File:** `src/modules/sjoin.c:292`
|
||||
**Status:** PATCHED
|
||||
|
||||
## Description
|
||||
|
||||
During SJOIN timestamp collision resolution (the server that loses drops all its
|
||||
channel modes), UnrealIRCd iterates over all channel members (`channel->members`)
|
||||
and for each one calls `find_membership_link(lp->client->user->channel, channel)`
|
||||
to obtain the client's Membership struct for that channel.
|
||||
|
||||
`find_membership_link` is an O(C) linear walk of the client's channel linked
|
||||
list (channel.c:100–113).
|
||||
|
||||
Result: O(M × C) per SJOIN collision where M = members in channel, C = channels
|
||||
per client (up to the join limit, typically 50).
|
||||
|
||||
## Root cause
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
// sjoin.c:292
|
||||
for (lp = channel->members; lp; lp = lp->next)
|
||||
{
|
||||
// O(C) — walks client's full channel membership list to find this channel
|
||||
Membership *lp2 = find_membership_link(lp->client->user->channel, channel);
|
||||
...
|
||||
*lp->member_modes = *lp2->member_modes = '\0';
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The `Membership` struct `lp2` is being fetched so that both the channel-side
|
||||
and the client-side member_modes can be zeroed simultaneously. However,
|
||||
`lp->client->user->channel` gives the head of the client's membership list, and
|
||||
we already have `lp` (the channel's Member struct) in hand. The client-side
|
||||
`Membership` can be located in O(1) from the `Member` pointer via the dual-link
|
||||
structure (Member → Client → Membership list), or by embedding a back-pointer.
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
The `Member` struct already has `lp->client`. The corresponding `Membership`
|
||||
struct on the client side can be found without a list scan if a back-pointer or
|
||||
a parallel data structure is maintained. Alternatively, zero both fields directly
|
||||
from `lp` since the Member and Membership structs for the same (client, channel)
|
||||
pair share the same `member_modes` by design:
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
for (lp = channel->members; lp; lp = lp->next)
|
||||
{
|
||||
// Instead of find_membership_link, zero the mode buffer directly.
|
||||
// If client-side Membership also needs zeroing, add a direct backpointer
|
||||
// in the Member struct pointing to the corresponding Membership entry.
|
||||
for (p = lp->member_modes; *p; p++) Addit(*p, lp->client->name);
|
||||
*lp->member_modes = '\0';
|
||||
// lp2 only needed for *lp2->member_modes = '\0'; — cache via backptr
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

||||

||||
See `defects/unrealircd/unit/UnrealircdTest.java` (included in scenario 3).

# weechat-0001: irc_nick_search() O(n) called per-channel in AWAY/NICK/QUIT/KILL handlers
|
||||
|
||||
**Target:** weechat/weechat
|
||||
**Severity:** HIGH
|
||||
**CWE:** CWE-407 (Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity)
|
||||
**File:** `src/plugins/irc/irc-protocol.c` (multiple handlers)
|
||||
**Status:** PATCHED
|
||||
|
||||
## Description
|
||||
|
||||
`irc_nick_search()` performs an O(n) linear scan of the `channel->nicks` linked
|
||||
list (irc-nick.c:830–848). It is called inside an outer loop over all channels
|
||||
the server knows about in four hot IRC protocol handlers:
|
||||
|
||||
| Handler | File:Line | Pattern |
|
||||
|---------|-----------|---------|
|
||||
| `AWAY` | irc-protocol.c:648–651 | for each channel: `irc_nick_search(nick)` |
|
||||
| `NICK` | irc-protocol.c:2295–2366 | for each channel: `irc_nick_search(old_nick)` |
|
||||
| `QUIT` | irc-protocol.c:3397–3408 | for each channel: `irc_nick_search(nick)` |
|
||||
| `KILL` | irc-protocol.c:2051–2055 | for each channel: `irc_nick_search(nick)` × 2 |
|
||||
|
||||
All four are O(C × N) where C = channels on server, N = nicks per channel.
|
||||
|
||||
## Root cause
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
// irc-nick.c:830 — O(n) linked-list walk
|
||||
struct t_irc_nick *
|
||||
irc_nick_search(struct t_irc_server *server, struct t_irc_channel *channel,
|
||||
const char *nickname) {
|
||||
for (ptr_nick = channel->nicks; ptr_nick; ptr_nick = ptr_nick->next_nick) {
|
||||
if (irc_server_strcasecmp(server, ptr_nick->name, nickname) == 0)
|
||||
return ptr_nick;
|
||||
}
|
||||
return NULL;
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`channel->nicks` is a plain doubly-linked list with no hash index.
|
||||
The handlers iterate all channels, calling `irc_nick_search` for each:
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
// irc-protocol.c:648 — AWAY handler — O(C × N)
|
||||
for (ptr_channel = ctxt->server->channels; ptr_channel; ptr_channel = ptr_channel->next_channel) {
|
||||
ptr_nick = irc_nick_search(ctxt->server, ptr_channel, ctxt->nick); // O(N)
|
||||
...
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
On a busy server with 200 channels of 500 nicks each, a single AWAY message
|
||||
triggers 100,000 strcmp operations.
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Add a `GHashTable* nicks_hashtable` (nick_name → t_irc_nick*) to
|
||||
`t_irc_channel`. Maintain it in sync with `channel->nicks` on add/remove.
|
||||
Replace `irc_nick_search` with a hash lookup.
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
// O(1) lookup
|
||||
struct t_irc_nick *
|
||||
irc_nick_search(struct t_irc_server *server, struct t_irc_channel *channel,
|
||||
const char *nickname) {
|
||||
if (channel->nicks_hashtable)
|
||||
return weechat_hashtable_get(channel->nicks_hashtable, lowercase(nickname));
|
||||
// fallback for empty/initializing channel
|
||||
...
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Ops/ns numbers (Java benchmark)

|
||||

# weechat-0002: irc_nick_new() calls irc_nick_search() per nick during 353 NAMES → O(n²)
|
||||
|
||||
**Target:** weechat/weechat
|
||||
**Severity:** MEDIUM
|
||||
**CWE:** CWE-407 (Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity)
|
||||
**File:** `src/plugins/irc/irc-nick.c:612`, `src/plugins/irc/irc-protocol.c:6196`
|
||||
**Status:** PATCHED
|
||||
|
||||
## Description
|
||||
|
||||
When WeeChat processes a `353` (RPL_NAMREPLY) message, it calls `irc_nick_new()`
|
||||
for each nick in the space-separated list. `irc_nick_new()` calls
|
||||
`irc_nick_search()` (O(n) linear scan) to check whether the nick already exists
|
||||
before inserting. This makes initial channel population O(n²) in the number of
|
||||
nicks.
|
||||
|
||||
## Root cause
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
// irc-nick.c:612 — called for every nick in the 353 list
|
||||
struct t_irc_nick *
|
||||
irc_nick_new(struct t_irc_server *server, struct t_irc_channel *channel, ...) {
|
||||
ptr_nick = irc_nick_search(server, channel, nickname); // O(already-added nicks)
|
||||
if (ptr_nick) { /* update */ return ptr_nick; }
|
||||
// insert new nick
|
||||
...
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
// irc-protocol.c:6196 — loop over 353 nick list → O(n) iterations of O(n) search
|
||||
for (i = 0; i < num_nicks; i++) {
|
||||
if (!irc_nick_new(ctxt->server, ptr_channel, nickname, ...)) // O(i) per call
|
||||
...
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Total: 1 + 2 + 3 + … + n = O(n²) insertions for a channel with n nicks.
|
||||
|
||||
On a large channel (e.g., #freenode with 8000 nicks), this executes
|
||||
~32 million strcmp operations during JOIN just to populate the nicklist.
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Same as weechat-0001: add `nicks_hashtable` to `t_irc_channel`. With O(1)
|
||||
lookup, `irc_nick_new` becomes O(1) per insert, making 353 processing O(n).
|
||||
|
||||
## Ops/ns numbers (Java benchmark)
|
||||
|
||||
See `defects/weechat/unit/WeechatTest.java` (bench label "names353-dedup").
|
||||
At N=1000 nicks: slow ~500,500 comparisons, fast ~1000 → ~500× speedup.

## Summary
|
||||
|
||||
Scanned `zerver/tornado/event_queue.py` (message fanout / presence broadcast),
|
||||
`zerver/actions/message_send.py` (per-message UserMessage creation loop), and
|
||||
`zerver/lib/alert_words.py` (alert-word matching).
|
||||
|
||||
All hot-path membership tests use Python `set` / `dict` for O(1) lookup:
|
||||
|
||||
- `process_message_event()`: all user-ID sets (`presence_idle_user_ids`,
|
||||
`online_push_user_ids`, `muted_sender_user_ids`, etc.) are pre-built as
|
||||
`set(event_template.get(..., []))` before the subscriber loop.
|
||||
- `message_send.py`: `mark_as_read_user_ids`, `mentioned_user_ids`,
|
||||
`ids_with_alert_words` are all `set[int]` — O(1) per check.
|
||||
- `alert_words.py`: uses `ahocorasick.Automaton` (Aho-Corasick) for
|
||||
multi-pattern matching — O(text_length) regardless of alert-word count.
|
||||
|
||||
No actionable CWE-407 defects identified.
