XCast/XCastManager.cpp

+        if (nullptr == appReq)
+        {
+            LOGERR("Failed to allocate RegisterAppEntry");
+            delete appReqList;


When appReq allocation fails, only appReqList is deleted. If RegisterAppEntryList doesn't have a destructor that properly cleans up its entries, the previously allocated RegisterAppEntry objects that were added via pushBack() will leak. Verify that RegisterAppEntryList's destructor properly deallocates all entries, or explicitly iterate through and delete them before deleting the list.

Suggested change

delete appReqList;

// Clean up previously allocated RegisterAppEntry objects

if (appReqList) {

while (!appReqList->empty()) {

RegisterAppEntry* entry = appReqList->front();

appReqList->popFront();

delete entry;

}

delete appReqList;

}

Miracast/MiracastService/MiracastController.cpp

    if (nullptr == m_miracast_ctrl_obj)
    {
-        m_miracast_ctrl_obj = new MiracastController();
+        m_miracast_ctrl_obj = new (std::nothrow) MiracastController();


Allocation failure is not handled. When new (std::nothrow) returns nullptr, the function should log an error (similar to other allocation checks in this PR) and set an appropriate error code before returning.

Miracast/MiracastService/MiracastController.cpp

    MIRACASTLOG_TRACE("Entering...");

-    m_controller_thread = new MiracastThread(CONTROLLER_THREAD_NAME,
+    m_controller_thread = new (std::nothrow) MiracastThread(CONTROLLER_THREAD_NAME,


Allocation failure for m_controller_thread is not checked. After using new (std::nothrow), you should verify that m_controller_thread is not nullptr before proceeding. Add a null check and appropriate error handling.

Miracast/MiracastPlayer/Generic/MiracastGstPlayer.cpp

    GstBus *bus = nullptr;
    bool return_value = true;
-    m_customQueueHandle = new MessageQueue(500,gstBufferReleaseCallback);
+    m_customQueueHandle = new (std::nothrow) MessageQueue(500,gstBufferReleaseCallback);


The allocation check for m_customQueueHandle should occur immediately after the allocation on line 730, not at line 732 (which appears to be existing code based on the diff). The error message logged at line 733 needs to be updated to mention the allocation failure specifically.

Miracast/common/MiracastCommon.cpp

+                size_t to_copy = strnlen(current_line_buffer, remaining);
+                memcpy(buffer + buffer_len, current_line_buffer, to_copy);
+                buffer_len += to_copy;
+                buffer[buffer_len] = '\0';


The buffer overflow protection silently discards data when the buffer is full. Consider logging a warning when remaining == 0 or when data is truncated, so that developers are aware that output is being lost. Additionally, the logic should break out of the loop once the buffer is full to avoid unnecessary iterations.

Suggested change

buffer[buffer_len] = '\0';

buffer[buffer_len] = '\0';

if (to_copy == remaining && current_line_buffer[remaining - 1] != '\0' && current_line_buffer[remaining - 1] != '\n') {

MIRACASTLOG_WARN("Buffer full, popen output truncated.");

break;

}

} else {

helpers/PluginInterfaceBuilder.h

        PluginInterfaceRef& operator=(PluginInterfaceRef&& other)
        {
            if (this != &other) {
                _interface = other._interface;
+                _service = other._service;
                other._interface = nullptr;
+                other._service = nullptr;
            }
            return *this;


The move assignment operator doesn't properly clean up the existing state before assigning new values. Before assigning other._interface and other._service, you should call Reset() to release the current _interface if it exists, preventing a resource leak.

helpers/UtilsisValidInt.h

+    if (Checked) {
+        try {
+            long long val = std::stoll(x);
+            if (val < INT_MIN || val > INT_MAX) {

+        } catch (...) {
+            Checked = false;
+        }
+    }


Missing required headers for std::stoll, INT_MIN, and INT_MAX. The code uses std::stoll which requires <string>, and INT_MIN/INT_MAX which require <climits>. Add these includes:

#include <string> #include <climits>

helpers/UtilsgetFileContent.h

-            char variable[variableLength + 1];
+            // Add bounds checking to prevent buffer overflow
+            const size_t MAX_VARIABLE_LENGTH = 256;
+            if (variableLength > MAX_VARIABLE_LENGTH || variableLength < 1) {


The check for variableLength < 1 is unnecessary because variableLength is a size_t (unsigned type), and if endPos == variablePos + 1, it would result in variableLength = 0. The current check should be variableLength == 0 or variableLength < 1 can be simplified to just check the upper bound and zero:

if (variableLength == 0 || variableLength > MAX_VARIABLE_LENGTH) {

Suggested change

if (variableLength > MAX_VARIABLE_LENGTH || variableLength < 1) {

if (variableLength == 0 || variableLength > MAX_VARIABLE_LENGTH) {

Miracast/MiracastService/MiracastController.cpp

-    sprintf(command, "/sbin/udhcpc -v -i ");
-    sprintf(command + strlen(command), "%s" , interface.c_str());
-    sprintf(command + strlen(command), " -s /etc/wifi_p2p/udhcpc.script 2>&1");
+    snprintf(command, sizeof(command), "/sbin/udhcpc -v -i %s -s /etc/wifi_p2p/udhcpc.script 2>&1", interface.c_str());


The refactored snprintf call is missing error handling. While the old code with multiple sprintf calls was unsafe, this single snprintf call should check if the buffer was large enough. Consider checking the return value:

int written = snprintf(command, sizeof(command), "/sbin/udhcpc -v -i %s -s /etc/wifi_p2p/udhcpc.script 2>&1", interface.c_str()); if (written < 0 || written >= sizeof(command)) { MIRACASTLOG_ERROR("Failed to format command string"); return std::string(""); }

Suggested change

snprintf(command, sizeof(command), "/sbin/udhcpc -v -i %s -s /etc/wifi_p2p/udhcpc.script 2>&1", interface.c_str());

int written = snprintf(command, sizeof(command), "/sbin/udhcpc -v -i %s -s /etc/wifi_p2p/udhcpc.script 2>&1", interface.c_str());

if (written < 0 || written >= (int)sizeof(command)) {

MIRACASTLOG_ERROR("Failed to format command string");
