[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 4/7] avutil/aes: Don't use misaligned pointers

The AES code uses av_aes_block, a union consisting of
uint64_t[2], uint32_t[4], uint8_t[4][4] and uint8_t[16].
subshift() performs byte-wise manipulations of two av_aes_blocks,
but when encrypting, it does so with a shift of two bytes;
more precisely, it uses
"av_aes_block *s1 = (av_aes_block *) (s0[0].u8 - s)"
and lateron uses the uint8_t[16] member to access s0.
Yet av_aes_block requires to be suitably aligned for
the uint64_t[2] member, which s0[0].u8 - 2 is certainly
not. This is in violation of 6.3.2.3 (7) of C11. UBSan
reports this in the aes_ctr, mov-3elist-encrypted,
mov-frag-encrypted, mov-tenc-only-encrypted and srtp
tests.
Furthermore, there is another issue here: The pointer points
outside of s0; this works, because all the accesses lateron
use an index >= 3. (Clang-)UBSan reports this as
"runtime error: index -2 out of bounds for type 'uint8_t[16]'".

This commit fixes both of these issues: The latter issue
is fixed by applying an offset of "+ 3" during the cast
and subtracting this from the indices used lateron.
The former issue is solved by not casting to av_aes_block*
at all; instead simply cast to unsigned char*.
