cefeac7a37 security: reject unknown tags in message_get to prevent va_arg desync
The switch in message_get had no default case. An unrecognized tag byte
from a malicious client would skip the switch body without consuming
the va_arg parameter, desynchronizing all subsequent argument reads
and causing undefined behavior.

886be20b29 security: add missing create_tag checks in stream command handlers
do_cork_stream, do_flush_trigger_prebuf_stream, and do_set_stream_name
did not check whether the stream had completed format negotiation.
Add create_tag guards matching the pattern in do_set_stream_buffer_attr.

d9df3602dd security: add missing create_tag check in update_stream_sample_rate
If a client sends UPDATE_PLAYBACK_STREAM_SAMPLE_RATE before format
negotiation completes, stream->ss.rate could be 0, causing a
floating-point division by zero. Add the same create_tag guard used
in do_set_stream_buffer_attr.

f567041f4d security: fix create_tag check to allow upload stream memblocks
The create_tag guard added in a2de6c886 also rejected memblocks for
upload streams, which never clear create_tag. Upload streams allocate
their buffer immediately, so the NULL deref risk does not apply to
them. Exempt STREAM_TYPE_UPLOAD from the check.

5709f05597 security: fix division by zero in PulseAudio set_stream_buffer_attr
A client can create a stream with invalid sample_spec (rate=0) via
format_info negotiation, then send SET_STREAM_BUFFER_ATTR before
negotiation completes. fix_playback_buffer_attr divides by ss.rate,
crashing the daemon. Reject buffer attr changes on streams that
have not completed format negotiation.

89bf33c1d8 security: fix file descriptor leak in PulseAudio server on_connect error path
File and Resource Handling: Medium

In on_connect(), if client_new() fails or pw_loop_add_io() fails, the
accepted client_fd is never closed. The error path only calls
client_free() which relies on pw_loop_destroy_source() to close the fd,
but if the source was never created, the fd leaks.

Fix by closing client_fd in the error path when it has not been
transferred to a loop source.

c2cb5d00db security: fix integer overflow in PulseAudio message read_arbitrary
Memory Safety: High

The read_arbitrary() bounds check used `m->offset + len > m->length`
where len is an attacker-controlled uint32_t read from the PulseAudio
protocol message. When m->offset is small and len is close to
UINT32_MAX, the addition wraps around to a small value, bypassing
the bounds check. This allows read_arbitrary() to return a pointer
within the message buffer but report an enormous length to the caller,
leading to out-of-bounds memory reads.

Fixed by rearranging the arithmetic to use subtraction:
`len > m->length - m->offset`, which cannot overflow since
m->offset <= m->length is maintained as an invariant.

32f969324b security: clamp channel count in PulseAudio volume control handler
Memory Safety: High

The stream_control_info() callback copied control->n_values floats
into stream->volume.values without checking bounds. The source allows
up to MAX_VALUES (256) entries but the destination volume array is
only CHANNELS_MAX (64) entries, so a stream with more than 64 channel
volumes would overflow the buffer. Clamp n_values to CHANNELS_MAX
before the copy.

1b1c5bda98 security: fix integer overflow in PulseAudio message buffer allocation
Memory Safety: High

In ensure_size(), the check `m->length + size <= m->allocated` could
overflow when both m->length and size are large uint32_t values,
wrapping around to a small number and incorrectly passing the bounds
check. This could allow writing past the end of the allocated buffer.

Rewrite the check as `size <= m->allocated - m->length` which cannot
overflow since we already verified m->length <= m->allocated. Also add
an explicit overflow check for the new allocation size calculation.

08f7fef820 fix capture rate assignment using logical NOT instead of copy
Three modules had "impl->capture_info.rate = !impl->playback_info.rate"
which evaluates to 0 (logical NOT of a non-zero rate) instead of
copying the playback rate. This is a copy-paste typo from the line
above which correctly uses "= impl->capture_info.rate".

cf88df2185 filter-chain: don't corrupt the enumerated properties
When we add a Format property after we dereffed all the other params in
the builder, we might relocate the builder memory and invalidate all
previously dereffed params, causing corruption.

Instead, first add all the params to the builder and then deref the
params.

There is a special case when we have both a capture and playback
stream. The capture stream will receive all filter params and the
playback stream will just receive its Format param.

6c00e598e5 protocol-native: check msg fds against available fds
Check that the number of fds for the message does not exceed the number
of received fds with SCM_RIGHTS.

The check was simply doing an array bounds check. This could still lead
to out-of-sync fds or usage of uninitialized/invalid fds when the
message header claims more fds than there were passed with SCM_RIGHTS.

fd867cf655 mixer: handle control.ump property
Add a control.ump port property. When true, the port wants UMP and the
mixer will convert to it. When false, the port supports both UMP and
Midi1 and no conversions will happen. When unset, the mixer will always
convert UMP to midi1.

Remove the CONTROL_types property from the filter. This causes problems
because this is the format negotiated with peers, which might not
support the types but can still be linked because the mixer will
convert.

The control.ump port property is supposed to be a temporary fix until we
can negotiate the mixer ports properly with the CONTROL_types.

Remove UMP handling from bluetooth midi, just use the raw Midi1 events
now that the mixer will give those and we are supposed to output our
unconverted format.

Fix midi events in-place in netjack because we can.

Update docs and pw-mididump to note that we are back to midi1 as the
default format.

With this, most of the midi<->UMP conversion should be gone again and we
should be able to avoid conversion problems in ALSA and PipeWire.

6a8bf93768 midi: don't convert Midi in nodes
Avoid doing conversions in the nodes between Midi formats, just assume
the imput is what we expect and output what we naturally produce.

For ALSA this means we produce and consume Midi1 or Midi2 depending on the
configurtation.

All of the other modules (ffado, RTP, netjack and VBAN) really only
produce and consume MIDI1.

Set the default MIDI format to MIDI1 in ALSA.

Whith this change, almost everything now produces and consumes MIDI1
again (previously the buffer format was forced to MIDI2).

The problem is that MIDI2 to and from MIDI1 conversion has problems in
some cases in PipeWire and ALSA and breaks compatibility with some
hardware.

The idea is to let elements produce their prefered format and that the
control mixer also negotiates and converts to the node prefered format.
There is then a mix of MIDI2 and MIDI1 on ports but with the control
port adapting, this should not be a problem.

There is one remaining problem to make this work, the port format is
taken from the node port and not the mixer port, which would then expose
the prefered format on the port and force negotiation to it with the
peer instead of in the mixer.

9afb0f1cc6 modules: align rtp_timestamps for sender
When the driver changes, the clock position can also change and there
would be a discont in the rtp_timestamp.

This is not usually a problem except in RAOP mode where the base rtp
timestamp is negotiated and anything that deviates too much is to be
discarded.

If we are not using direct_timestamp for the sender, make sure we always
keep the rtp_time aligned to avoid this problem.

socket-activation on other non-systemd distributions, including
non-Linux.
