<t>This document addresses minor issues that were found in the specification
of the Opus audio codec in RFC 6716. It updates the normative decoder implementation
included in the appendix of RFC 6716. The changes fixes real and potential security-related
issues, as well minor quality-related issues.</t>

<section title="Introduction">
<t>This document addresses minor issues that were discovered in the reference
implementation of the Opus codec. Unlike most IETF specifications, Opus is defined
in <xref target="RFC6716">RFC 6716</xref> in terms of a normative reference
decoder implementation rather than from the associated text description.
That RFC includes the reference decoder implementation as Appendix A.
That's why only issues affecting the decoder are
listed here. An up-to-date implementation of the Opus encoder can be found at
<eref target="https://opus-codec.org/"/>.</t>
<t>
Some of the changes in this document update normative behaviour in a way that requires
new test vectors. The English text of the specification is unaffected, only
the C implementation is. The updated specification remains fully compatible with
the original specification.
</t>
<t>
Note: due to RFC formatting conventions, lines exceeding the column width
in the patch are split using a backslash character. The backslashes
at the end of a line and the white space at the beginning
of the following line are not part of the patch. A properly formatted patch
including all changes is available at
<eref target="https://www.ietf.org/proceedings/98/slides/materials-98-codec-opus-update-00.patch"/>
and has a SHA-1 hash of 029e3aa88fc342c91e67a21e7bfbc9458661cd5f.

<section title="Terminology">
<t>The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in <xref
target="RFC2119">RFC 2119</xref>.</t>
</section>
<section title="Stereo State Reset in SILK">
<t>The reference implementation does not reinitialize the stereo state
during a mode switch. The old stereo memory can produce a brief impulse
(i.e. single sample) in the decoded audio. This can be fixed by changing
silk/dec_API.c at line 72:
</t>
<figure>

<CODE BEGINS>
for( n = 0; n < DECODER_NUM_CHANNELS; n++ ) {
ret = silk_init_decoder( &channel_state[ n ] );
}
+ silk_memset(&((silk_decoder *)decState)->sStereo, 0,
+ sizeof(((silk_decoder *)decState)->sStereo));
+ /* Not strictly needed, but it's cleaner that way */
+ ((silk_decoder *)decState)->prev_decode_only_middle = 0;
return ret;
}
<CODE ENDS>
]]></artwork>
</figure>
<t>
This change affects the normative output of the decoder, but the
amount of change is within the tolerance and too small to make the testvector check fail.
</t>
</section>
<section anchor="padding" title="Parsing of the Opus Packet Padding">
<t>It was discovered that some invalid packets of very large size could trigger
an out-of-bounds read in the Opus packet parsing code responsible for padding.
This is due to an integer overflow if the signaled padding exceeds 2^31-1 bytes
(the actual packet may be smaller). The code can be fixed by decrementing the
(signed) len value, instead of incrementing a separate padding counter.
This is done by applying the following changes at line 596 of src/opus_decoder.c:
</t>
<figure>
<artwork><![CDATA[
<CODE BEGINS>
/* Padding flag is bit 6 */
if (ch&0x40)
{
- int padding=0;
int p;
do {
if (len<=0)
return OPUS_INVALID_PACKET;
p = *data++;
len--;
- padding += p==255 ? 254: p;
+ len -= p==255 ? 254: p;
} while (p==255);
- len -= padding;
}
<CODE ENDS>
]]></artwork>
</figure>
<t>This packet parsing issue is limited to reading memory up
to about 60 kB beyond the compressed buffer. This can only be triggered
by a compressed packet more than about 16 MB long, so it's not a problem
for RTP. In theory, it could crash a file
decoder (e.g. Opus in Ogg) if the memory just after the incoming packet
is out-of-range, but our attempts to trigger such a crash in a production
application built using an affected version of the Opus decoder failed.</t>
</section>
<section anchor="resampler" title="Resampler buffer">
<t>The SILK resampler had the following issues:
<list style="numbers">
<t>The calls to memcpy() were using sizeof(opus_int32), but the type of the
local buffer was opus_int16.</t>
<t>Because the size was wrong, this potentially allowed the source
and destination regions of the memcpy() to overlap on the copy from "buf" to "buf".
We believe that nSamplesIn (number of input samples) is at least fs_in_khZ (sampling rate in kHz),
which is at least 8.
Since RESAMPLER_ORDER_FIR_12 is only 8, that should not be a problem once
the type size is fixed.</t>
<t>The size of the buffer used RESAMPLER_MAX_BATCH_SIZE_IN, but the
data stored in it was actually twice the input batch size
(nSamplesIn&lt;&lt;1).</t>
</list></t>

<section title="Integer wrap-around in inverse gain computation">
<t>
It was discovered through decoder fuzzing that some bitstreams could produce
integer values exceeding 32-bits in LPC_inverse_pred_gain_QA(), causing
a wrap-around. The C standard considers
this behavior as undefined. The following patch to line 87 of silk/LPC_inv_pred_gain.c
detects values that do not fit in a 32-bit integer and considers the corresponding filters unstable:
</t>

</section>
<section title="Integer wrap-around in LSF decoding" anchor="lsf_overflow">
<t>
It was discovered -- also from decoder fuzzing -- that an integer wrap-around could
occur when decoding bitstreams with extremely large values for the high LSF parameters.
The end result of the wrap-around is an illegal read access on the stack, which
the authors do not believe is exploitable but should nonetheless be fixed. The following
patch to line 137 of silk/NLSF_stabilize.c prevents the problem:
</t>
<figure>
<artwork><![CDATA[
<CODE BEGINS>
/* Keep delta_min distance between the NLSFs */
for( i = 1; i < L; i++ )

NLSF_Q15[i-1] + NDeltaMin_Q15[i] );
+ NLSF_Q15[i] = silk_max_int( NLSF_Q15[i], \
silk_ADD_SAT16( NLSF_Q15[i-1], NDeltaMin_Q15[i] ) );
/* Last NLSF should be no higher than 1 - NDeltaMin[L] */
<CODE ENDS>
]]></artwork>
</figure>
</section>
<section title="Cap on Band Energy">
<t>On extreme bit-streams, it is possible for log-domain band energy levels
to exceed the maximum single-precision floating point value once converted
to a linear scale. This would later cause the decoded values to be NaN (not a number),
possibly causing problems in the software using the PCM values. This can be
avoided with the following patch to line 552 of celt/quant_bands.c:
</t>
<figure>
<artwork><![CDATA[
<CODE BEGINS>
{
opus_val16 lg = ADD16(oldEBands[i+c*m->nbEBands],
SHL16((opus_val16)eMeans[i],6));
+ lg = MIN32(QCONST32(32.f, 16), lg);
eBands[i+c*m->nbEBands] = PSHR32(celt_exp2(lg),4);
}
for (;i<m->nbEBands;i++)
<CODE ENDS>
]]></artwork>
</figure>
</section>
<section title="Hybrid Folding" anchor="folding">
<t>When encoding in hybrid mode at low bitrate, we sometimes only have
enough bits to code a single CELT band (8 - 9.6 kHz). When that happens,
the second band (CELT band 18, from 9.6 to 12 kHz) cannot use folding
because it is wider than the amount already coded, and falls back to
white noise. Because it can also happen on transients (e.g. stops), it
can cause audible pre-echo.
</t>
<t>
To address the issue, we change the folding behavior so that it is
never forced to fall back to LCG due to the first band not containing
enough coefficients to fold onto the second band. This
is achieved by simply repeating part of the first band in the folding
of the second band. This changes the code in celt/bands.c around line 1237:
</t>

<t>
The fix does not impact compatibility, because the improvement does
not depend on the encoder doing anything special. There is also no
reasonable way for an encoder to use the original behavior to
improve quality over the proposed change.
</t>
</section>
<section title="Downmix to Mono" anchor="stereo">
<t>The last issue is not strictly a bug, but it is an issue that has been reported
when downmixing an Opus decoded stream to mono, whether this is done inside the decoder
or as a post-processing step on the stereo decoder output. Opus intensity stereo allows
optionally coding the two channels 180-degrees out of phase on a per-band basis.
This provides better stereo quality than forcing the two channels to be in phase,
but when the output is downmixed to mono, the energy in the affected bands is cancelled
sometimes resulting in audible artifacts.
</t>
<t>As a work-around for this issue, the decoder MAY choose not to apply the 180-degree
phase shift. This can be useful when downmixing to mono inside or
outside of the decoder (e.g. user-controllable).
</t>
</section>
<section title="New Test Vectors">
<t>Changes in <xref target="folding"/> and <xref target="stereo"/> have
sufficient impact on the testvectors to make them fail. For this reason,
this document also updates the Opus test vectors. The new test vectors now
include two decoded outputs for the same bitstream. The outputs with
suffix 'm' do not apply the CELT 180-degree phase shift as allowed in
<xref target="stereo"/>, while the outputs without the suffix do. An
implementation is compliant as long as it passes either set of vectors.
</t>
<t>
Any Opus implementation
that passes either the original test vectors from <xref target="RFC6716">RFC 6716</xref>
or one of the new sets of test vectors is compliant with the Opus specification. However, newer implementations
SHOULD be based on the new test vectors rather than the old ones.
</t>
<t>The new test vectors are located at
<eref target="https://www.ietf.org/proceedings/98/slides/materials-98-codec-opus-newvectors-00.tar.gz"/>.
The SHA-1 hashes of the test vectors are:
