Finding

  • Finding ID: B11-planar-legacy-alignment-exception-safety
  • Status: Reproduced defect
  • Severity: High
  • Affected component: SetPlanarLegacyAlignment
  • Source location: avs_core/filters/debug.cpp:68-79

Summary

Environment alignment is changed before child GetFrame and restored only on normal return.

Affected Code

  PVideoFrame __stdcall GetFrame(int n, IScriptEnvironment* env)
  {
  const IScriptEnvironment::PlanarChromaAlignmentMode
    oldmode = env->PlanarChromaAlignment(mode)            // Set the PLANAR alignement mode
            ? IScriptEnvironment::PlanarChromaAlignmentOn
            : IScriptEnvironment::PlanarChromaAlignmentOff;

  PVideoFrame src = child->GetFrame(n, env);              // run the GetFrame chain

  env->PlanarChromaAlignment(oldmode);                    // reset the PLANAR alignement mode

  return src;
  }

Correct Behavior

Use RAII or a scope guard to restore the original alignment on every exit path.

Reproduction

Start with alignment On and use a child whose GetFrame throws.

Observed Result

observed: environment alignment remains Off after exception
expected: original On state is restored

Impact

One failed child request leaks mutable environment state into subsequent filters.

Validation Criteria

State is restored after success and every exception path.
