Build from source with no vendored binaries:
- Remove prebuilt libzuptsdk.so / libpqvaptvupt.so (and a stray .pyc). The
default build needs only a C compiler + make; it links no external library
and installs no .so. The libzuptsdk-backed modes (Argon2id KDF, --pq-sdk,
--pq-box) are gated behind an opt-in `make WITH_SDK=1`. The default password
KDF is PBKDF2-SHA256 and --pq (native ML-KEM-768 + X25519) is the built-in PQ
mode. openSUSE/RPM/deb/AUR/Homebrew/Nix recipes bumped to 4.1.0; the openSUSE
spec now builds source-only (%files ships no .so, %build/%install WITH_SDK=0).
Fix: multithreaded encrypted archives were unextractable on the native AEAD
path. The parallel compress/decompress workers skipped the F-09 frame-preface
AAD that the serial path and the archive's AAD_PREFACE flag bind into every
block MAC, so each multithreaded block failed authentication. The workers now
bind the preface via a shared serializer; output is byte-identical across
thread counts and interoperates with single-threaded archives (also fixes
`--kdf pbkdf2 -t N` in any build).
Security hardening (crafted-archive memory safety + crypto):
- LZH raw code-length stack overflow + huff_lut OOB write
- overflow-safe bounds in parse_index and solid-mode extract (heap OOB read)
- SEQ decoder safe-zone heap overflow (litlen+matchlen reserve)
- require the per-block ENCRYPTED flag on encrypted archives (plaintext forgery)
- cap archive-supplied PBKDF2 iteration count (KDF-amplification DoS)
- non-elidable secret wipe in the SDK path; restored disk images created 0600
Docs: remove AUDIT.md / BENCHMARKS.md / ROADMAP.md; trim marketing/AI-styled
text and correct KDF/PQ facts across README, SECURITY, INSTALL, DISTRIBUTION,
THREAT_MODEL, THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES, the man page, and packaging READMEs. Wire
format v1.6 unchanged.
Major release. Highlights:
- Codec: vendored VaptVupt codec moves to canonical 2.60.4 security
release. Fixes a high-severity OOB heap write in the AVX2 decode fast
path (reachable on a valid stream sized to exactly content_size, both
tail variants). Brings CBMC-formally-verified BCJ filters with
automatic ELF/PE/Mach-O detection. Compressed output stays
byte-identical (ratio gate Δ 0.00%); wire format unchanged at v1.6.
- New --pq-box sealed-box recipient mode (vendored libpqvaptvupt 0.6.0):
ML-KEM-768 + X25519 combined via HKDF-SHA256 with domain separation,
AES-256-CTR + HMAC-SHA256 EtM. Legacy --pq and --pq-sdk stay readable.
- F-16: discloses and fixes a pre-existing data-loss defect in the
<= 3.8.0 in-tree BCJ encoder. Full back-compat matrix decodes
byte-exact under 4.0.0; every readable pre-4.0 archive remains readable.
Repository hygiene:
- Sync full 4.0.0 source tree (codec, crypto, SDK, GUI, packaging, tests).
- Remove internal scratch files (PROMPT.md, FORMAL_AUDIT_PROMPT.md)
and superseded version-specific docs (INTEGRATION_PROTOCOL_2.60.4.md,
docs/FINDINGS-2.x.md) and a stray test binary.
- Refresh README download/install section to real 4.0.0 release assets;
bump version badge to 4.0.0.
- Add .gitignore for build outputs (keeps vendored prebuilt libraries).
- Corrected LZHP prediction encoding in disk backups to prevent data corruption
- Disabled spurious SOLID flag for per-block disk archives
- Shared write_enc_header() across all encryption paths to eliminate format mismatches
- Enabled solid compression with PQ encryption support
- Updated block device restore to use O_SYNC + fsync/sync
- Improved Termux/Android host detection for safer builds
- Made zupt_w8(), zupt_w16le(), zupt_w64le() non-static for shared use
- Removed all shipped .o files from tarball (fixes aarch64/Termux linker errors with x86_64 objects)
- Added arch-safety guard in Makefile to auto-detect and remove incompatible .o files
- Switched default compiler from gcc to cc (Termux uses clang)
- Skipped -lpthread on Android (bionic provides pthreads)
- Added Android detection via uname -o
- Fixed Keccak UB: ROL64(x,0) no longer expands to undefined x >> 64
- Achieved zero UBSan/ASAN issues across all PQ crypto paths
- Moved sys/syscall.h include to file scope with proper __linux__ guard
Release stats:
- 73 files, 159KB, zero .o artifacts
- 70/70 tests passing
- Fully clean under ASAN + UBSan
Note: full-disk encryption (--disk) deferred to v2.2.0 (requires raw device I/O, sparse detection, and privilege handling)
- Integrated `zupt_mac_verify_ct` in `zupt_decrypt_buffer()` to replace C XOR loop for HMAC-SHA256
- Integrated `zupt_ct_select_32` in `zupt_mlkem768_decaps()` to replace C `cmov()` for FO transformation
- Added `include/zupt_jasmin.h` with extern declarations and ABI docs
- Added `#ifdef ZUPT_USE_JASMIN` guards with clean C fallbacks in `zupt_crypto.c` and `zupt_mlkem.c`
- Makefile now auto-detects `jasmin/*.s`, assembles and links with `-DZUPT_USE_JASMIN`
