Description
Prevents critical crashes when processing malformed or truncated Dish Network caption streams.
Previously, the code performed unchecked slicing based on pattern_type, which could panic if insufficient data was available.
The old comment “4 to 6 bytes” was outdated. Based on the actual patterns, the required range is now 4 to 12 bytes.
This fix ensures the decoder continues gracefully with subsequent packets without crashing.
Fix
Returning Ok(1) skips malformed packets while preserving decoder stability, and all valid packets continue processing as before.
