On failure (e.g., `RLIMIT_MEMLOCK` exhausted, missing `CAP_IPC_LOCK`), it printed a warning and **returned success with the buffer unlocked**. No caller checked `buf->locked`, so the process continued with secrets in pageable memory — silently undermining the "crash = total wipe" and "no filesystem footprint" guarantees. An attacker with disk access after the fact could recover key material from swap. + +**Fix.** mlock failure is now **fatal by default**. The function prints a diagnostic with `strerror(errno)` and returns `-1`, causing startup to abort. A new opt-in escape hatch, `secure_buf_allow_unlocked()`, is wired to the `--allow-unlocked-memory` CLI flag in [`src/main.c`](../src/main.c):3653 for development/container environments where `mlock` is unavailable. + +**Files changed:** +- [`src/secure_mem.c`](../src/secure_mem.c) — fatal-by-default logic, `secure_buf_allow_unlocked()`, added `` +- [`src/main.c`](../src/main.c) — `--allow-unlocked-memory` argument parsing + declaration + +--- + +### F-002: HTTP Content-Length Parsed with `atol()` — No Error Detection + +| | | +|---|---| +| **Severity** | Medium | +| **File** | [`src/http_listener.c`](../src/http_listener.c):75–163 | +| **Status** | ✅ Remediated | + +**Problem.** The HTTP request parser read `Content-Length` using `atol()`, which has **no error detection**: it returns `0` for non-numeric input (indistinguishable from a real `0`), and silently truncates values exceeding `LONG_MAX`.

When full, the oldest entry was evicted (circular overwrite). An attacker who captured 1024 valid auth envelopes could replay any of them after the cache wrapped — the evicted nonce would no longer be detected as a duplicate.

Any envelope with `created_at < max_seen` is rejected as a replay. This has **no wrap-around weakness**. +2. **Event ID set for the current second** — because `created_at` has 1-second granularity, a per-(pubkey, second) set of up to 32 event IDs allows multiple legitimate concurrent requests within the same second while still rejecting exact duplicates. +3. When `created_at > max_seen`, the event ID set is cleared and the timestamp advances. + +The initial monotonic-only version was caught by the existing test suite ([`tests/test_auth_envelope.c`](../tests/test_auth_envelope.c)) which builds multiple same-second requests — the hybrid design passes all 13 tests. + +**Files changed:** +- [`src/auth_envelope.h`](../src/auth_envelope.h) — new `auth_pubkey_entry_t` structure with `max_created_at` + `event_ids[]` +- [`src/auth_envelope.c`](../src/auth_envelope.c) — new `auth_nonce_cache_check_and_update()` implementing the hybrid check; event ID extracted from the signed envelope's `id` field + +--- + +### F-004: OTP Binary Header Checksum Parsed with `sscanf` — Return Value Ignored + +| | | +|---|---| +| **Severity** | Low | +| **File** | [`src/otp_pad.c`](../src/otp_pad.c):408–416 | +| **Status** | ✅ Remediated | + +**Problem.** When building a binary `.otp` output header, the hex pad checksum was converted to bytes using `sscanf("%02x")` in a loop, but the **return value was never checked**.
