+# systemd 5-MOAD scan — 2026-03-31
+
+Source: https://github.com/systemd/systemd (depth=1)
+Focus: src/core/, src/resolve/, src/cryptsetup/, src/login/
+
+Prior defects in this directory:
+- systemd-0001: strv_extend_strv dedup O(N²) (src/basic/strv.c) — HIGH
+- systemd-0002: unit_file_get_list states filter O(U×S) (src/shared/install.c) — MEDIUM
+
+## MOAD-0001 (CWE-407): DEFECT — systemd-0003
+
+`src/core/dbus-cgroup.c` BPF filter path setter: `strv_contains(*filters, path)`
+called inside a `for(;;)` loop reading D-Bus array elements for
+`IPIngressFilterPath=` / `IPEgressFilterPath=` properties. O(N²) total for N
+paths. See `systemd-0003-dbus-cgroup-bpf-filter-strv-dedup.patch`.
+
+Same pattern also appears in `src/core/load-fragment.c`
+`config_parse_ip_filter_bpf_progs()`. Both sites are LOW-MEDIUM severity
+(config/property-write path, not hot packet path).
+
+Other candidates reviewed and found LOW severity or too small in practice:
+- `src/core/device.c` LIST_FOREACH + strv_contains(aliases, d->path): called
+  on udev hotplug events. aliases list is small (udev SYSTEMD_ALIAS values).
+- `src/core/transaction.c` nested LIST_FOREACH: not a membership test, just
+  pairwise conflict checking over job sets.
+
+## MOAD-0002 (Intertangle): CLEAN (architectural note)
+
+The `Manager` struct (`src/core/manager.h`, 672 lines) is a god object holding
+all systemd state. This is intentional and well-known. The subsystems (device,
+mount, swap, service, etc.) all reference it. No novel coupling to patch.
+Marked CLEAN.
+
+## MOAD-0003 (Leaked Context): CLEAN
+
+systemd is a single-threaded sd-event loop. No `thread_local`, `__thread`, or
+`pthread_getspecific` found in `src/core/` or `src/resolve/`. CLEAN.
+
+## MOAD-0004 (CWE-312 Logged Secret): CLEAN
+
+Reviewed `src/cryptsetup/cryptsetup.c` for LUKS passphrase, volume key, and
+TPM key material in log calls. Found only device names and error messages in
+`log_debug`/`log_info`/`log_warning` — no passphrase values, no key bytes,
+no token secrets. CLEAN.
+
+## MOAD-0005 (Thundering Herd): CLEAN
+
+systemd is a single-threaded sd-event loop. No concurrent hashmap/set access.
+CLEAN.

+# systemd-0003: dbus-cgroup IPIngressFilterPath/IPEgressFilterPath dedup O(N²) — CWE-407
+
+## Severity
+LOW-MEDIUM
+
+## Location
+`src/core/dbus-cgroup.c` — BPF filter path setter block (~line 578)
+
+## Root Cause
+When systemd accepts an `IPIngressFilterPath=` or `IPEgressFilterPath=` array
+via D-Bus (e.g., `systemctl set-property SomeUnit.service IPIngressFilterPath=…`),
+it reads each path string from the bus message in a `for (;;)` loop and calls
+`strv_contains(*filters, path)` before appending to the `*filters` strv.
+
+`strv_contains` expands to `strv_find()`, an O(N) linear scan of the entire
+target array. Each successive path added to the array causes a longer scan of
+all previously accepted paths. For N paths in the incoming message, total cost
+is O(N²) string comparisons.
+
+```c
+/* src/core/dbus-cgroup.c */
+for (;;) {
+        const char *path;
+        r = sd_bus_message_read(message, "s", &path);
+        ...
+        if (!UNIT_WRITE_FLAGS_NOOP(flags) && !strv_contains(*filters, path)) {
+                r = strv_extend(filters, path);   /* O(N) scan before each append */
+                ...
+        }
+        n++;
+}
+```
+
+In practice, kernel BPF program lists per cgroup are short (typically < 10
+entries), so the quadratic cost is low in normal operation. However, a
+misbehaving or malicious D-Bus client can send a large array, triggering
+pathological O(N²) CPU usage in PID 1 (systemd itself) during property
+handling.
+
+## Fix
+
+Build a `Set*` (hashmap-backed, O(1) lookup) from the already-accepted paths
+before the loop, then use `set_contains()` instead of `strv_contains()`:
+
+```c
+_cleanup_set_free_ Set *seen = NULL;
+/* Pre-populate with existing filter paths */
+STRV_FOREACH(e, *filters)
+        if (set_put_strdup(&seen, *e) < 0)
+                return log_oom();
+
+for (;;) {
+        const char *path;
+        r = sd_bus_message_read(message, "s", &path);
+        ...
+        if (!UNIT_WRITE_FLAGS_NOOP(flags) && !set_contains(seen, path)) {
+                r = set_put_strdup(&seen, path);
+                if (r < 0)
+                        return log_oom();
+                r = strv_extend(filters, path);
+                if (r < 0)
+                        return log_oom();
+        }
+        n++;
+}
+```
+
+The same `strv_contains` pattern appears in `src/core/load-fragment.c` inside
+`config_parse_ip_filter_bpf_progs()` which builds BPF prog path lists from
+unit files. That site has the same O(N²) characteristic and should apply the
+same fix.
+
+## Speedup
+At N=500 duplicate filter paths sent via D-Bus:
+- Before: ~125,000 string comparisons
+- After:  ~500 hash lookups
+- Ratio: ~250x
+
+At typical sizes (N < 10) the difference is immaterial. The fix matters for
+adversarial or automated D-Bus clients.
