Good Practices Found + +1. **Error handling:** Most functions check return values and use `BAD_ERROR()` macros +2. **Const correctness:** Good use of `const` in function parameters +3. **NULL checks:** Most pointer dereferences are preceded by NULL checks +4. **Documentation:** Functions are well-commented + +### 2. Areas for Improvement + +1. **Static analysis:** No evidence of regular static analysis tool usage (cppcheck, clang-tidy) +2. **Fuzzing:** No fuzzing infrastructure visible +3. **Unit tests:** No unit test framework found +4. **Bounds checking:** Could use more runtime bounds checking in debug builds +5. **Safe string library:** Consider using safer string handling libraries + +## Recommendations Summary + +### High Priority + +1. Replace all `strcpy()` and `strcat()` with bounds-checked alternatives (`strncpy()`, `strncat()`, or `snprintf()`) +2. Add overflow checks to all size calculations before allocation +3. Audit all array indexing operations for bounds checks +4. Add runtime assertions in debug builds + +### Medium Priority + +1. Implement recursion depth limits for recursive functions +2. Add static analysis to build process +3. Implement fuzzing tests for file parsing +4. Add mutex ownership assertions in thread code + +### Low Priority + +1. Add unit test framework +2. Document all security-critical functions +3. Consider using AddressSanitizer and UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer during development +4. Create secure coding guidelines document + +## Conclusion + +The squashfs-tools codebase demonstrates good awareness of security issues, particularly with integer overflow protection. However, there are opportunities to improve buffer safety and memory management practices. Most identified issues are in the MEDIUM to LOW severity range, as they require specific conditions to trigger. + +No immediate critical vulnerabilities were found that would allow remote code execution or privilege escalation under normal usage. The most significant risks are buffer overflows from malformed input files or extremely deep directory structures. + +### Testing Recommendations + +1. **Fuzzing:** Use AFL or libFuzzer on file parsing functions +2. **Sanitizers:** Build with AddressSanitizer, UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer, and MemorySanitizer +3. **Static Analysis:** Run cppcheck, clang-tidy, and scan-build regularly +4. **Valgrind:** Run all test cases under Valgrind to detect memory leaks and use-after-free + +### Compliance + +This audit focused on common vulnerability patterns: +- โœ… Buffer overflows: Found potential issues, recommendations provided +- โœ… Integer overflows: Good protection exists, some gaps identified +- โœ… Use-after-free: No definitive issues found, defensive improvements suggested +- โœ… Double-free: No issues found, code appears safe +- โœ… Dangling pointers: No issues found, proper ownership model + +--- + +**Auditor's Note:** This audit was performed through static code review. Dynamic analysis with fuzzing and sanitizers is strongly recommended to identify runtime issues not visible through static analysis. diff --git a/SECURITY_AUDIT_README.md b/SECURITY_AUDIT_README.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..927d26af --- /dev/null +++ b/SECURITY_AUDIT_README.md @@ -0,0 +1,295 @@ +# Security Audit Documentation - Navigation Guide + +This directory contains comprehensive security audit documentation for the squashfs-tools project.
