# reHDD C++ Project - Static Code Analysis Report

## Executive Summary
This report contains findings from a defensive programming and security-focused static code analysis of the reHDD project. The analysis identified critical issues including memory safety problems, resource leaks, error handling gaps, and potential security vulnerabilities.

## Critical Issues (Severity: HIGH)

### 1. Memory Leak in main.cpp
**File:** `src/main.cpp`  
**Line:** 19  
**Snippet:** `reHDD *app = new reHDD();`  
**Issue:** Dynamically allocated `reHDD` object is never deleted, causing memory leak.  
**Impact:** Memory leak on program termination (though minor since program exits).  
**Recommendation:** Use stack allocation `reHDD app;` or RAII with smart pointer.

---

### 2. Nullptr Return Without Proper Handling
**File:** `src/reHDD.cpp`  
**Line:** 97  
**Snippet:** `return {};`  
**Issue:** Function `getSelectedDrive()` returns empty braces `{}` instead of `nullptr` for pointer type. This creates an invalid pointer that may not be null but points to uninitialized memory.  
**Impact:** Undefined behavior, potential segmentation faults.  
**Recommendation:** Change to `return nullptr;`

---

### 3. Memory Leak in Drive Scanning
**File:** `src/reHDD.cpp`  
**Line:** 329  
**Snippet:** `Drive *tmpDrive = new Drive("/dev/" + devName);`  
**Issue:** Dynamically allocated `Drive` object is copied to list but never explicitly deleted. The pointer `tmpDrive` is lost after `push_back`.  
**Impact:** Memory leak on every drive scan iteration (every 5 seconds).  
**Recommendation:** Use stack allocation or smart pointers: `Drive tmpDrive("/dev/" + devName);` then `push_back(tmpDrive);`

---

### 4. Resource Leak - File Descriptor Not Checked
**File:** `src/reHDD.cpp`  
**Line:** 312-316  
**Snippet:** 
```cpp
FILE *fp = popen("lsblk -d -n -o NAME,TRAN", "r");
if (!fp) {
    Logger::logThis()->error("Unable to execute lsblk to scan drives");
    exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
```
**Issue:** Direct `exit()` call without cleanup, plus no validation that `pclose()` at line 354 succeeds.  
**Impact:** Resource leak, potential zombie processes.  
**Recommendation:** Implement proper cleanup before exit, check `pclose()` return value.

---

### 5. Unchecked popen/pclose Return Values
**File:** `src/reHDD.cpp`  
**Lines:** 404-422, 681-686  
**Snippet:** 
```cpp
FILE *outputfileBlkid = popen(sCMD.c_str(), "r");
if (outputfileBlkid == NULL) {
    exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
// ... later
pclose(outputfileBlkid);
```
**Issue:** Multiple instances of `popen()` with immediate `exit()` on failure (no cleanup). Also `pclose()` return value never checked.  
**Impact:** Resource leaks, zombie processes, undetected command failures.  
**Recommendation:** Check `pclose()` return values, implement proper cleanup handlers.

---

### 6. Race Condition with Shared Drive List
**File:** `src/reHDD.cpp`  
**Lines:** 162-169, 175-181  
**Snippet:**
```cpp
if (getSelectedDrive() != nullptr) {
    if (getSelectedDrive()->state == Drive::NONE) {
        getSelectedDrive()->state = Drive::DELETE_SELECTED;
    }
}
```
**Issue:** `getSelectedDrive()` called multiple times without holding lock. Between calls, another thread could modify the list, making the pointer invalid.  
**Impact:** Race condition, potential use-after-free, segmentation fault.  
**Recommendation:** Call `getSelectedDrive()` once, store result, and hold mutex during access.

---

### 7. Integer Overflow in sprintf Buffer
**File:** `src/drive.cpp`  
**Line:** 66  
**Snippet:** `sprintf(acBuffer, "%.*f %s", u16UnitIndex - 3, dSize, units[u16UnitIndex]);`  
**Issue:** Arithmetic `u16UnitIndex - 3` can underflow if `u16UnitIndex < 3`, causing huge precision value or buffer overflow.  
**Impact:** Buffer overflow, potential code execution vulnerability.  
**Recommendation:** Add bounds checking: `int precision = (u16UnitIndex >= 3) ? (u16UnitIndex - 3) : 0;`

---

### 8. Missing Error Check on time() Calls
**File:** `src/drive.cpp`  
**Lines:** 151, 156, 166, 179  
**Snippet:** `time(&this->u32Timestamp);`  
**Issue:** `time()` can return -1 on error, but return value is never checked.  
**Impact:** Invalid timestamps, incorrect frozen drive detection, wrong duration calculations.  
**Recommendation:** Check return value: `if (time(&this->u32Timestamp) == -1) { /* handle error */ }`

---

### 9. Potential Integer Overflow in Frozen Drive Check
**File:** `src/drive.cpp`  
**Line:** 182  
**Snippet:** `if ((u32localtime - this->u32Timestamp) >= (FROZEN_TIMEOUT * 60)`  
**Issue:** If `u32Timestamp` is larger than `u32localtime` (clock adjustment, overflow), subtraction wraps causing logic error.  
**Impact:** Incorrect frozen drive detection, drives marked frozen prematurely or never.  
**Recommendation:** Use `difftime()` or check for wraparound before subtraction.

---

### 10. Unchecked strerror() with Invalid Errno
**File:** `src/shred.cpp`  
**Lines:** 63, 74, 86, 135  
**Snippet:** `std::string errorMsg(strerror(randomSrcFileDiscr));`  
**Issue:** `strerror()` expects `errno`, but file descriptors (which can be 0 or positive) are passed. File descriptor 0 is a valid FD but would be interpreted as "Success" error message.  
**Impact:** Misleading error messages, difficult debugging.  
**Recommendation:** Use `strerror(errno)` instead of passing file descriptor values.

---

### 11. Missing Bounds Check on Array Access
**File:** `src/drive.cpp`  
**Line:** 66  
**Snippet:** `sprintf(acBuffer, "%.*f %s", u16UnitIndex - 3, dSize, units[u16UnitIndex]);`  
**Issue:** Array `units[]` has 9 elements (indices 0-8), but `u16UnitIndex` could exceed 8 if capacity is extraordinarily large.  
**Impact:** Out-of-bounds array access, undefined behavior, potential crash.  
**Recommendation:** Add check: `if (u16UnitIndex >= 9) u16UnitIndex = 8;`

---

### 12. Resource Leak - File Descriptors Not Closed on Error Path
**File:** `src/shred.cpp`  
**Lines:** 61-68, 71-79, 82-90  
**Snippet:**
```cpp
randomSrcFileDiscr = open(randomsrc, O_RDONLY | O_LARGEFILE);
if (randomSrcFileDiscr == -1) {
    // ...
    cleanup();
    return -1;
}
```
**Issue:** If `driveFileDiscr` open fails (line 71-79), `randomSrcFileDiscr` is already open but cleanup() might not close it properly if `driveFileDiscr` is -1.  
**Impact:** File descriptor leak on error paths.  
**Recommendation:** Ensure cleanup() handles partially initialized state, or close resources immediately on error.

---

### 13. Missing Validation of Pipe Return Value
**File:** `src/reHDD.cpp`  
**Lines:** 46-47  
**Snippet:**
```cpp
pipe(fdNewDrivesInformPipe);
pipe(fdShredInformPipe);
```
**Issue:** `pipe()` can fail and return -1, but return values are never checked.  
**Impact:** Undefined behavior if pipe creation fails, subsequent `read()`/`write()` operations will fail.  
**Recommendation:** Check return values: `if (pipe(fdNewDrivesInformPipe) == -1) { /* handle error */ }`

---

### 14. Iterator Invalidation Bug
**File:** `src/reHDD.cpp`  
**Lines:** 378-380, 431-433, 453-455  
**Snippet:**
```cpp
it = plistDrives->erase(it);
it--;
```
**Issue:** After `erase()`, iterator is already at the next element. Decrementing it (`it--`) moves to a potentially invalid position, especially at container boundaries.  
**Impact:** Iterator invalidation, potential infinite loop or segmentation fault.  
**Recommendation:** Don't decrement after erase. Use: `it = plistDrives->erase(it);` without the `it--`.

---

### 15. Uninitialized Memory in cLine
**File:** `src/reHDD.cpp`  
**Line:** 399  
**Snippet:** `char *cLine = NULL;`  
**Issue:** `cLine` is passed to `getline()` which expects pre-allocated memory or NULL for auto-allocation. However, `len` is initialized to 0 but never checked if allocation succeeded.  
**Impact:** Potential memory issues if `getline()` fails to allocate.  
**Recommendation:** Check if `getline()` returns -1 before using `cLine`, ensure `free(cLine)` is called to prevent memory leak.

---

## Medium Severity Issues

### 16. Using sprintf Instead of snprintf
**File:** `src/printer.cpp`  
**Lines:** 45-56, 73  
**Snippet:** `sprintf(msgQueueData.driveData.caDriveIndex, "%i", 42);`  
**Issue:** `sprintf()` has no bounds checking. If format string produces output exceeding `STR_BUFFER_SIZE` (64 bytes), buffer overflow occurs.  
**Impact:** Buffer overflow vulnerability, potential code execution.  
**Recommendation:** Use `snprintf()` with size parameter: `snprintf(..., STR_BUFFER_SIZE, ...)`

---

### 17. strcpy Without Bounds Checking
**File:** `src/printer.cpp`  
**Lines:** 47-48, 50, 60, 63, 66, 70  
**Snippet:** `strcpy(msgQueueData.driveData.caDriveModelFamily, drive->getModelFamily().c_str());`  
**Issue:** `strcpy()` has no bounds checking. If source string exceeds `STR_BUFFER_SIZE`, buffer overflow occurs.  
**Impact:** Buffer overflow vulnerability, potential code execution.  
**Recommendation:** Use `strncpy()` or C++ string methods with size validation.

---

### 18. Missing Error Check for Thread Creation
**File:** `src/reHDD.cpp`  
**Lines:** 49-51, 479, 631, 639  
**Snippet:** `thread(ThreadShred, pTmpDrive).detach();`  
**Issue:** Thread creation can fail (resource exhaustion), but no error checking is performed.  
**Impact:** Silent failure to start critical tasks, drives not being processed.  
**Recommendation:** Catch exceptions or check if thread creation succeeded.

---

### 19. Mutex Not Held During List Size Check
**File:** `src/reHDD.cpp`  
**Line:** 88  
**Snippet:** `if (u8SelectedEntry < listDrives.size())`  
**Issue:** `listDrives.size()` accessed without holding `mxDrives` mutex, while other threads may modify the list.  
**Impact:** Race condition, TOCTOU (Time-Of-Check-Time-Of-Use) bug.  
**Recommendation:** Acquire mutex before checking size or return value.

---

### 20. Signed/Unsigned Comparison
**File:** `src/reHDD.cpp`  
**Line:** 592  
**Snippet:** `int8_t u8EntrySize = (int8_t)listDrives.size();`  
**Issue:** `size()` returns `size_t` (unsigned), cast to `int8_t` (signed) can overflow if list has >127 elements. Also, variable name suggests unsigned (`u8`) but type is signed.  
**Impact:** Logic error if many drives present, incorrect index calculations.  
**Recommendation:** Use `size_t` or `uint8_t` and handle potential overflow properly.

---

### 21. Missing Check for lseek Return Value
**File:** `src/shred.cpp`  
**Lines:** 231, 244  
**Snippet:**
```cpp
if (0 != lseek(file, 0L, SEEK_SET)) {
    perror("unable to rewind drive");
    return -1;
}
```
**Issue:** `lseek()` returns -1 on error, but check is `!= 0` which is correct. However, at line 244, return value is stored but not checked against -1.  
**Impact:** Incorrect drive size if `lseek()` fails.  
**Recommendation:** Check explicitly: `if (lseek(...) == -1)`

---

### 22. Hardcoded Sleep Values
**File:** `src/reHDD.cpp`  
**Lines:** 113, 130, 204  
**Snippet:** `sleep(5); // sleep 5 sec`  
**Issue:** Thread sleeps are hardcoded. Not a bug, but makes system less responsive and not configurable.  
**Impact:** Performance issue, delayed response to drive changes.  
**Recommendation:** Make sleep durations configurable via constants or config file.

---

### 23. Deprecated sprintf in Logger
**File:** `src/logger/logger.cpp`  
**Lines:** 137, 159  
**Snippet:** `sprintf(buffer, "%s.%03d", cpDate, millisec);`  
**Issue:** `sprintf()` without bounds checking. Buffer is 120 bytes which should be safe, but best practice is to use `snprintf()`.  
**Impact:** Potential buffer overflow if date format changes.  
**Recommendation:** Use `snprintf(buffer, sizeof(buffer), ...)`

---

### 24. Unchecked ioctl Return Value
**File:** `src/logger/logger.cpp`  
**Line:** 152  
**Snippet:**
```cpp
if (ioctl(s, SIOCGIFHWADDR, &ifr) < 0) {
    strcpy(ifr.ifr_name, "eno1");
}
```
**Issue:** If first `ioctl()` fails, falls back to "eno1" but doesn't check if second interface exists. The second `ioctl()` is implicit (not shown but would be needed) and may fail silently.  
**Impact:** Invalid MAC address returned if both interfaces fail.  
**Recommendation:** Check return value of operations on fallback interface too.

---

### 25. Missing Validation of String Length
**File:** `src/smart.cpp`  
**Lines:** 109, 132, 155, 178, 201, 224, 247, 270  
**Snippet:** `sLine.erase(sLine.length() - 3U, 3U);`  
**Issue:** No check if `sLine.length()` is >= 3 before subtracting 3. If line is shorter, `length() - 3` wraps around (undefined behavior for unsigned).  
**Impact:** Potential crash or incorrect string manipulation.  
**Recommendation:** Add length check: `if (sLine.length() >= 3) { sLine.erase(sLine.length() - 3U, 3U); }`

---

### 26. Missing Free for getline Allocated Memory
**File:** `src/reHDD.cpp`, `src/smart.cpp`, `src/delete.cpp`  
**Multiple Lines:** 399, 43, 677  
**Snippet:** `char *cLine = NULL; ... getline(&cLine, &len, ...)`  
**Issue:** `getline()` allocates memory for `cLine` if NULL is passed, but this memory is never freed with `free(cLine)`.  
**Impact:** Memory leak on every call to these functions.  
**Recommendation:** Add `free(cLine);` before function return or when done using the pointer.

---

### 27. Global Using Namespace in Header
**File:** `include/reHDD.h`  
**Line:** 60  
**Snippet:** `using namespace std;`  
**Issue:** Using `using namespace std;` in a header file pollutes the namespace for all files that include this header.  
**Impact:** Namespace pollution, potential name conflicts, poor practice.  
**Recommendation:** Remove from header, use `std::` prefix or move to source files.

---

### 28. Unused Semicolon
**File:** `src/drive.cpp`  
**Line:** 102  
**Snippet:** `return to_string(getTemperature()) + " C";;`  
**Issue:** Double semicolon (extra semicolon).  
**Impact:** Compiler warning, style issue (no functional impact).  
**Recommendation:** Remove extra semicolon.

---

### 29. No Validation of Drive State Transitions
**File:** `src/reHDD.cpp`  
**Lines:** 166, 179, 478, 628, 637  
**Issue:** State changes (e.g., `Drive::DELETE_SELECTED`, `Drive::SHRED_ACTIVE`) happen without validating current state or checking for invalid transitions.  
**Impact:** Potential invalid state transitions, race conditions.  
**Recommendation:** Implement state machine with validation for allowed transitions.

---

### 30. Missing Check for msgget Failure
**File:** `src/printer.cpp`  
**Line:** 21  
**Snippet:**
```cpp
if (-1 == (this->msqid = msgget((key_t)IPC_MSG_QUEUE_KEY, IPC_CREAT | 0666))) {
    Logger::logThis()->error("Printer: Create mgs queue failed!");
}
```
**Issue:** Error is logged but execution continues with invalid `msqid`. Subsequent `msgsnd()` calls will fail.  
**Impact:** Silent failures in printer functionality.  
**Recommendation:** Throw exception or set error flag to prevent using invalid message queue.

---

## Low Severity Issues

### 31. Magic Numbers in Code
**File:** Multiple files  
**Lines:** Various  
**Issue:** Magic numbers like `256`, `120`, `80` used directly in code without named constants.  
**Impact:** Reduced code readability and maintainability.  
**Recommendation:** Define named constants for all magic numbers.

---

### 32. Inconsistent Error Handling
**File:** Multiple files  
**Issue:** Mix of `exit()`, `return -1`, exceptions, and continuing execution after errors.  
**Impact:** Inconsistent behavior, difficult to maintain.  
**Recommendation:** Establish consistent error handling policy.

---

### 33. No Input Validation for User Commands
**File:** `src/tui.cpp`  
**Lines:** 221-254  
**Issue:** User input is read but no validation that selected drives are in valid state for requested operation.  
**Impact:** Possible invalid operations on drives.  
**Recommendation:** Add validation before state changes.

---

### 34. Potential Integer Overflow in Time Calculations
**File:** `src/drive.cpp`  
**Lines:** 83-84, 169  
**Issue:** Time calculations with `uint32_t` could overflow after ~49 days or with very large hour counts.  
**Impact:** Incorrect duration calculations for long-running operations.  
**Recommendation:** Use 64-bit types for time calculations.

---

### 35. Missing const Correctness
**File:** Multiple files  
**Issue:** Many getter methods and parameters that don't modify data are not marked `const`.  
**Impact:** Reduced compiler optimization opportunities, less clear intent.  
**Recommendation:** Add `const` qualifiers where appropriate.

---

### 36. No Check for Duplicate Drives
**File:** `src/reHDD.cpp`  
**Lines:** 238-303  
**Issue:** While there's logic to detect offline drives, there's no explicit check to prevent duplicate drives in the list if UUID/Serial matching fails.  
**Impact:** Potential duplicate entries if drive identification fails.  
**Recommendation:** Add defensive check for duplicates based on path.

---

### 37. Unclosed Socket in Logger
**File:** `src/logger/logger.cpp`  
**Line:** 149  
**Snippet:** `int s = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);`  
**Issue:** Socket created but only closed at line 161. If function exits early between creation and close (though unlikely in this specific code), socket leaks.  
**Impact:** Socket descriptor leak in error cases.  
**Recommendation:** Use RAII wrapper or ensure close in all paths.

---

### 38. Potential Division by Zero
**File:** `src/shred.cpp`  
**Line:** 226  
**Snippet:** `return (double)(((double)ulDriveByteOverallCount) / ((double)this->ulDriveByteSize * uiMaxShredIteration)) * 100.0f;`  
**Issue:** If `this->ulDriveByteSize` is 0, division by zero occurs.  
**Impact:** Undefined behavior, potential crash.  
**Recommendation:** Add check: `if (this->ulDriveByteSize == 0) return 0.0;`

---

### 39. File Descriptor Cleanup Not Verified
**File:** `src/shred.cpp`  
**Lines:** 302-303  
**Snippet:**
```cpp
close(driveFileDiscr);
close(randomSrcFileDiscr);
```
**Issue:** Return values of `close()` are not checked. Close can fail (EBADF, EIO).  
**Impact:** Unreported errors, potential resource leaks in edge cases.  
**Recommendation:** Check return values and log errors.

---

### 40. Missing Volatile for Shared State Variables
**File:** `include/drive.h`  
**Lines:** 18-26, 53-56  
**Issue:** State variables accessed by multiple threads without `volatile` or proper atomic operations.  
**Impact:** Compiler optimizations may cause stale reads, race conditions.  
**Recommendation:** Use `std::atomic<>` for state variables accessed across threads.

---

## Style and Best Practice Issues

### 41. Mixed Naming Conventions
**Issue:** Inconsistent naming - Hungarian notation mixed with camelCase and underscores.  
**Examples:** `u8SelectedEntry`, `plistDrives`, `sModelFamily`, `d32TaskPercentage`  
**Recommendation:** Adopt consistent naming convention throughout project.

---

### 42. Large Functions
**File:** `src/reHDD.cpp`, `src/tui.cpp`  
**Issue:** Several functions exceed 100 lines, reducing readability.  
**Recommendation:** Refactor large functions into smaller, focused functions.

---

### 43. Limited Use of RAII
**Issue:** Manual resource management with `new`/`delete`, `open`/`close` instead of RAII wrappers.  
**Recommendation:** Use smart pointers (`std::unique_ptr`, `std::shared_ptr`) and RAII wrappers for files and other resources.

---

### 44. No Unit Tests
**Issue:** No evidence of unit tests in the project structure.  
**Recommendation:** Add unit tests, especially for critical functions like drive state management and shred operations.

---

### 45. Hardcoded Paths
**File:** Multiple  
**Examples:** `"./reHDD.log"`, `"ignoreDrives.conf"`, `"/dev/urandom"`  
**Recommendation:** Make paths configurable via config file or command-line arguments.

- Comprehensive logging for all error paths
- Input validation at all boundaries
- State machine validation for drive states
- Resource cleanup guards (RAII)
- Thread safety analysis
- Integration tests for critical operations
