Walkthrough

Adds the public Emib and Emeb atom types with encoding and decoding implementations. Adds EvteSample to decode and encode a single Emeb or one or more Emib boxes. Adds tests for atom behavior, sample round trips, and sample decoding errors. Exposes the new modules and types from the crate.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 77ad4

The previously identified mixed-box and empty-sample failures are corrected. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 77ad4

The new codec validates box sizes and ordering, but decoding large samples can allocate memory in proportion to their contents. The practical exposure depends on limits imposed by applications using the library.

Retained concerns

  • Low · security · inferred: The new public decoder has no independent limit on decoded event strings, message data, or number of boxes. If an application passes large untrusted samples without an input limit, decoding can amplify memory use; no affected production caller is established.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — Exposure is at the library-call boundary: an application that passes untrusted sample bytes can invoke the exported decoder. The available evidence does not establish a network entrypoint, tenant scope, or application-level size limit.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — A caller that accepts large attacker-supplied samples without limits could incur proportional allocations while decoding Emib fields. This is a conditional resource-exhaustion path, not a verified production exploit.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The decoder checks declared box size against remaining input and requires recognized ordering and exact body consumption. Its body slices borrow input rather than allocating from a header-declared size alone.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Reusing the same buffer after a malformed-sample error could interpret body bytes as a subsequent header. Whether any application attempts that recovery is unknown, so this is not established as an active security path.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Define caller-facing sample-size or allocation limits for untrusted inputs, and document whether callers must discard a buffer after a decode error.

I think its a reasonable thing to decode the samples here, just not 100% on having that in Any.

ergonomics for the user, so we can do

match Any::decode() {
   Emib => ...,
   Emeb => {}
   _ => return Err(InvalidData)
}

otherwise you would need to do

if let Ok(...) = Emib::decode() {
   ... 
} else if let Ok(_) = Emeb::decode() {
} else {
   return Err(InvalidData)
}

i don't see the harm in putting it into Any, since it shouldn't increase the size of the enum and matching usually involves a fallback arm anyway, so no need to list the two additional cases

an alternative would be to provide a full sample parser that generates something like

enum ParsedEvteSample {
   Emib(Vec<Emib>)
   Emeb
}

not sure how much this repo wants to help with parsing samples

I'm good with parsing samples. I can see NALU support at some point.

The concern is about mis-use of the API, especially on encode. Putting it in Any suggests its a box. How much pain is it to do a separate enum?

Reject trailing bytes after decoding the sample.

Header::decode_maybe returns None when fewer than eight bytes remain. The loop then exits and the decoder returns a successful sample while leaving those bytes unread.

Suggested fix
         while let Some(header) = Header::decode_maybe(buf)? {
             let size = header.size.unwrap_or(buf.remaining());
             if size > buf.remaining() {

Reject an Emib after an Emeb.

If a sample contains an Emeb followed by an Emib, this arm accepts the Emib. The final branch returns the Emeb and silently discards the event. The sample format permits either event boxes or one empty box, not both. Reject the Emib when emeb.is_some(). (cdn.standards.iteh.ai)

Reject an empty Emib sample during encoding.

EvteSample::Emib(vec![]) is constructible, but this branch returns success without writing a box. EvteSample::decode rejects the resulting empty sample. Require at least one Emib before encoding so the public encoder cannot produce an invalid sample. (cdn.standards.iteh.ai)
