Sirius downloads stop when the next dive is a freedive: the data-object request receives a short 0x80 response instead of a segment, so the segment-header check aborts the iteration and leaves older dives unread. Two Sirius diagnostic logs show the same response immediately after headers with freedive mode 5.

Recognise only that 16-byte response for a Sirius dive-data request when the buffered header identifies a freedive, the response echoes the requested object, and its remaining bytes match the observed pattern. Return an internal unsupported status and advance to the next dive without invoking the callback for the unavailable record. Other models, dive modes, responses and protocol errors retain their previous behaviour.

Add focused tests for both observed indexes and for mismatched headers, models, requests and responses. An out-of-tree make -j4 check passes both tests. No physical Sirius was available, so successful retrieval after the skipped freedive remains unverified on hardware.

Fixes subsurface/subsurface#4541

  • Detect and skip unavailable Sirius freedive data without invoking the callback.
  • Preserve existing behavior for other models, modes, responses, and protocol errors.
  • Add focused tests for valid and invalid response patterns.

1173-1178: 🩺 Stability & Availability

Verify the next-object transition on Sirius hardware.

mares_iconhd_transfer consumes the response data and trailer before mares_iconhd_read_object returns DC_STATUS_UNSUPPORTED. The outer loop then requests the next dive header on the same stream. The focused test covers only the predicate, not this device-state transition. Test an unavailable freedive followed by a normal dive and confirm that the later dive reaches the callback.

Walkthrough

The change identifies a specific Sirius freedive response as unavailable. Object reading reports it as unsupported, and dive iteration skips that record and continues. A new test executable checks the predicate against matching and non-matching inputs.

Changes

Sirius freedive handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Freedive response predicate and tests
src/mares_iconhd_freedive.h, src/Makefile.am, test/test_mares_iconhd_freedive.c, test/Makefile.am
The predicate matches the specified Sirius model, dive-data object, header, and response conditions. The new test executable checks matching indices and non-matching model, index, header, subindex, response, and mode cases.
Object reading and dive iteration
src/mares_iconhd.c
When the first segment has an unexpected toggle header, object reading returns DC_STATUS_UNSUPPORTED if the predicate matches. Dive iteration advances progress and continues to the next dive for that status.

Possibly related issues

  • Issue 5056 reports a Sirius download that stops at a freedive record with Unexpected packet header (80). This change handles the matching response and continues the download. The issue also describes a separate unusual dive record that this change does not address.

Suggested reviewers: jefdriesen

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to af6a6

The unavailable freedive is skipped and later records can continue downloading. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 63a3a

The change is narrowly scoped to Sirius dive downloads and does not establish a new security exposure. However, a response-length mismatch prevents the documented unavailable response from reaching the intended recovery path, so continued retrieval of older dives is not established.

Retained concerns

  • Low · reliability · observed: The new reader/helper length contract prevents the documented unavailable record from being isolated. The reader subtracts one from the response length before invoking a predicate that expects the complete 16-byte response. That response therefore returns a protocol error and terminates iteration, leaving older dives unread. This leaves the pre-existing failure-containment limitation unresolved rather than demonstrating increased attacker authority.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The affected failure domain is the selected device's download iteration and records delivered to its callback. The inspected change adds no cross-service dependency or authority-bearing interface; the documented response continues to interrupt that download as it did in the base.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Device-supplied bytes pass through transport length and framing checks before object parsing. The reader checks the initialization response's echoed object identity, and the new exception is limited to the first segment with an unexpected toggle header. Other nonmatching responses retain the protocol-error path.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Packet-entry cancellation checks and bounded protocol/timeout retries remain in place. Reader failures propagate to the iterator's existing termination and buffer-cleanup path; the new skip branch does not transfer buffer ownership.

Explanation

Issue [#4541] requires Sirius downloads to skip unavailable freedive records and continue with later records. src/mares_iconhd_freedive.h matches only Sirius dive-data requests with the required freedive header and 16-byte response pattern. src/mares_iconhd.c returns DC_STATUS_UNSUPPORTED, skips the unavailable record, advances progress, and continues the dive loop. The focused test covers both observed indexes and mismatched models, headers, subindexes, modes, and responses.

Pass the full response length to the freedive matcher.

mares_iconhd_freedive_unavailable requires length == 16, but mares_iconhd_read_object decrements the received length before calling it. A 16-byte response is therefore passed as 15 and cannot be classified. The caller then returns a protocol error instead of skipping the freedive.
