Issue Description

Out of bound found in libopencsd_decoder due to absense of bound check in TraceFmtDcdImpl::unpackFrame() in trc_frame_deformatter.cpp.

It may cause security vulnerability by reading and writing invalid memory address.

external/OpenCSD/decoder/source/trc_frame_deformatter_impl.h

  • m_out_data is a member variable of class TraceFmtDcdImpl, which is a 7-length array type.
 46 typedef struct _out_chan_data {
 47     ocsd_trc_index_t index;      //!< trace source index for start of these bytes
 48     uint8_t id;             //!< Id for these bytes
 49     uint8_t data[15];       //!< frame data bytes for this ID
 50     uint32_t valid;         //!< Valid data bytes.
 51     uint32_t used;          //!< Data bytes output (used by attached processor).
 52 } out_chan_data;

158     out_chan_data m_out_data[7];

external/OpenCSD/decoder/source/trc_frame_deformatter.cpp

(line 613) The local variable m_out_data_idx is initialized to 0.

(line 623) According to the loop condition, this loop is executed 7 times.

(line 646) So m_out_data_idx can be up to 7, since the m_out_data_idx++; command can be executed 7 times in this loop.

If the value of m_out_data_idx is 7, then all m_out_data[m_out_data_idx] accesses are out of bound.

Not sure it is actually possible to build a system with trace hardware that could generate an input sequence with 7 ID changes in a single frame, but in the event the correct response is to not increment the index larger than 6 and skip the last initialisation.

Will look at this in more detail in due course.

There is a case if 7 ID changes occur in a frame, each with following data assigned to the previous ID, the final ID/Data byte being data, where 8 buffers are required.

Unlikely to be possible in real hardware but fix applied to ensure robustness of the library
