FINAL RESULTS:

data/python-pyelftools-0.27/test/external_tools/elf_creator.c:64:20:  [2] (misc) open:
  Check when opening files - can an attacker redirect it (via symlinks),
  force the opening of special file type (e.g., device files), move things
  around to create a race condition, control its ancestors, or change its
  contents? (CWE-362).
    if ((FileDes = open(OUTFILE, O_CREAT | O_WRONLY | O_TRUNC, 0777)) < 0)
