+ <section title="Introduction">
+ <t>This document addresses minor issues that were discovered in the reference
+ implementation of the Opus codec. Unlike most IETF specifications, Opus is defined
+ in <xref target="RFC6716">RFC 6716</xref> in terms of a normative reference
+ decoder implementation rather than from the associated text description.
+ That RFC includes the reference decoder implementation as Appendix A.
+ That's why only issues affecting the decoder are
+ listed here. An up-to-date implementation of the Opus encoder can be found at
+ <eref target="https://opus-codec.org/"/>.</t>
+ <t>
+ Some of the changes in this document update normative behaviour in a way that requires
+ new test vectors. The English text of the specification is unaffected, only
+ the C implementation is. The updated specification remains fully compatible with
+ the original specification.
+ </t>
+
+ <t>
+ Note: due to RFC formatting conventions, lines exceeding the column width
+ in the patch are split using a backslash character. The backslashes
+ at the end of a line and the white space at the beginning
+ of the following line are not part of the patch. A properly formatted patch
+ including all changes is available at
+ <eref target="https://www.ietf.org/proceedings/98/slides/materials-98-codec-opus-update-00.patch"/>
+ and has a SHA-1 hash of 029e3aa88fc342c91e67a21e7bfbc9458661cd5f.

+ <section title="Stereo State Reset in SILK">
+ <t>The reference implementation does not reinitialize the stereo state

+
+ <section anchor="padding" title="Parsing of the Opus Packet Padding">
+ <t>It was discovered that some invalid packets of very large size could trigger
+ an out-of-bounds read in the Opus packet parsing code responsible for padding.
+ This is due to an integer overflow if the signaled padding exceeds 2^31-1 bytes
+ (the actual packet may be smaller). The code can be fixed by decrementing the
+ (signed) len value, instead of incrementing a separate padding counter.
+ This is done by applying the following changes at line 596 of src/opus_decoder.c:
+ </t>
+<figure>
+<artwork><![CDATA[
+<CODE BEGINS>
+ /* Padding flag is bit 6 */

+- int padding=0;
+ int p;
+ do {
+ if (len<=0)
+ return OPUS_INVALID_PACKET;
+ p = *data++;
+ len--;
+- padding += p==255 ? 254: p;
++ len -= p==255 ? 254: p;
+ } while (p==255);
+- len -= padding;
+ }
+<CODE ENDS>
+]]></artwork>
+</figure>
+ <t>This packet parsing issue is limited to reading memory up
+ to about 60 kB beyond the compressed buffer. This can only be triggered
+ by a compressed packet more than about 16 MB long, so it's not a problem
+ for RTP. In theory, it could crash a file
+ decoder (e.g. Opus in Ogg) if the memory just after the incoming packet
+ is out-of-range, but our attempts to trigger such a crash in a production
+ application built using an affected version of the Opus decoder failed.</t>

+ We believe that nSamplesIn (number of input samples) is at least fs_in_khZ (sampling rate in kHz),

+ <section title="Hybrid Folding" anchor="folding">
+ <t>When encoding in hybrid mode at low bitrate, we sometimes only have
+ enough bits to code a single CELT band (8 - 9.6 kHz). When that happens,
+ the second band (CELT band 18, from 9.6 to 12 kHz) cannot use folding
+ because it is wider than the amount already coded, and falls back to
+ white noise. Because it can also happen on transients (e.g. stops), it
+ can cause audible pre-echo.
+ </t>
+ <t>
+ To address the issue, we change the folding behavior so that it is
+ never forced to fall back to LCG due to the first band not containing
+ enough coefficients to fold onto the second band. This
+ is achieved by simply repeating part of the first band in the folding
+ of the second band. This changes the code in celt/bands.c around line 1237:

+ <section title="Downmix to Mono" anchor="stereo">
+ <t>The last issue is not strictly a bug, but it is an issue that has been reported
+ when downmixing an Opus decoded stream to mono, whether this is done inside the decoder
+ or as a post-processing step on the stereo decoder output. Opus intensity stereo allows
+ optionally coding the two channels 180-degrees out of phase on a per-band basis.
+ This provides better stereo quality than forcing the two channels to be in phase,
+ but when the output is downmixed to mono, the energy in the affected bands is cancelled
+ sometimes resulting in audible artifacts.
+ </t>
+ <t>As a work-around for this issue, the decoder MAY choose not to apply the 180-degree
+ phase shift. This can be useful when downmixing to mono inside or
+ outside of the decoder (e.g. user-controllable).
+ </t>
+ </section>
+
+
+ <section title="New Test Vectors">
+ <t>Changes in <xref target="folding"/> and <xref target="stereo"/> have
+ sufficient impact on the testvectors to make them fail. For this reason,
+ this document also updates the Opus test vectors. The new test vectors now
+ include two decoded outputs for the same bitstream. The outputs with
+ suffix 'm' do not apply the CELT 180-degree phase shift as allowed in
+ <xref target="stereo"/>, while the outputs without the suffix do. An
+ implementation is compliant as long as it passes either set of vectors.
+ </t>
+ <t>
+ Any Opus implementation
+ that passes either the original test vectors from <xref target="RFC6716">RFC 6716</xref>
+ or one of the new sets of test vectors is compliant with the Opus specification. However, newer implementations
+ SHOULD be based on the new test vectors rather than the old ones.
