Summary

When an iloc box sets its offset, length and index sizes all to 0, each extent reads no bytes. So a 28-byte box could decode two items of 65,280 extents each and allocate about 6 MB. moq's cmaf fuzz target found this (moq-dev/moq#7313).

With this change, only an item's first extent may be zero-size. If an item declares more than one extent while every size is 0, decode returns OutOfBounds, which Atom::decode reports as OverDecode(iloc). The heap an iloc costs is now proportional to its size.

A lone zero-size extent still decodes, even at the end of the box. With no offset and no length, it names the whole data reference. A plain count-versus-remaining-bytes check, like the one #264 added to sgpd, would have refused that valid case. This follows a maintainer decision on 2026-10-30.

Tests

  • test_iloc_rejects_repeated_zero_size_extents: the fuzz input made into a complete box (item count 2). Without the check, this decodes to 130,560 extents.
  • test_iloc_v1_rejects_repeated_zero_size_extents: the same case for version 1, where index_size is also 0.
  • test_iloc_single_zero_size_extent_decodes: two items with one zero-size extent each still decode.

I confirmed that both rejection tests fail with the check disabled. cargo test --all-targets --all-features, cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings and cargo fmt -- --check pass.

This PR does not cut a release. moq-mux picks the fix up in its pending mp4-atom bump.

Review

Codex gpt-6.1-sol, medium effort, via quest review --base origin/main on head d190d75: no findings.

When the offset, length and index sizes are all 0, an iloc extent reads no
bytes, so a 28-byte box decoded two items of 65,280 extents each and
allocated about 6 MB. Only an item's first extent may now be zero-size;
a second is OutOfBounds. A lone zero-size extent, naming the whole data
reference, still decodes, even at the end of the box.

Found by moq's media fuzz targets (moq-dev/moq#7313).

Walkthrough

The decoder now returns Error::OutOfBounds when an item declares more than one extent and the offset, length, and index sizes are all zero. Tests cover this rejection for V1, a fuzz-derived box, and acceptance of one zero-size extent per item in V0.

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to d190d

The decoder rejects repeated zero-size extents while preserving valid singleton extents. Additional V2 regression coverage is optional; no actionable merge-blocking issue remains.

Nitpick Add a V2 test for repeated zero-size extent rejection.

380-395: Trivial · Maintainability & Code Quality · Quick win

Add a V2 test for repeated zero-size extent rejection.

The guard at src/meta/iloc.rs:85 runs for every version. No test covers its V2 path. The V0 test decodes a full box, and the V1 test calls decode_body_ext directly. A change that limits the guard to V0 and V1 would still pass the current tests.

Review comment at @src/meta/iloc.rs around lines 380 - 395:
Add a V2 regression test alongside the existing repeated-zero-size-extent tests
in the Iloc test module. Use a V2 body with 32-bit item_count and item_id fields
and two zero-size extents, decode it through Iloc::decode_body_ext, and assert
that it returns Error::OutOfBounds, matching the existing V1 test’s
direct-decoding approach.

The fix is up for review upstream. The quest now waits on it merging, then
commits the cmaf regression input with the mp4-atom bump.

The iloc fix merged upstream as kixelated/mp4-atom@2f19362. What remains,
moving to the release and committing the cmaf input, is tracked in the
mp4-atom bump, whose PR also deletes the iloc quest.
