Flawfinder version 2.0.10, (C) 2001-2019 David A. Wheeler. Number of rules (primarily dangerous function names) in C/C++ ruleset: 223 Examining data/apt-build-0.12.48/apt-build.h Examining data/apt-build-0.12.48/config.c Examining data/apt-build-0.12.48/config.h Examining data/apt-build-0.12.48/wrapper.c FINAL RESULTS: data/apt-build-0.12.48/config.c:80:11: [4] (buffer) sscanf: The scanf() family's %s operation, without a limit specification, permits buffer overflows (CWE-120, CWE-20). Specify a limit to %s, or use a different input function. if (sscanf (file_content, "%s = %s", opt, buf)) data/apt-build-0.12.48/wrapper.c:25:10: [4] (shell) execvp: This causes a new program to execute and is difficult to use safely (CWE-78). try using a library call that implements the same functionality if available. return execvp (basename (argv[0]), argv); data/apt-build-0.12.48/config.c:143:20: [3] (buffer) getenv: Environment variables are untrustable input if they can be set by an attacker. They can have any content and length, and the same variable can be set more than once (CWE-807, CWE-20). Check environment variables carefully before using them. char *path = getenv("PATH"); data/apt-build-0.12.48/config.c:170:10: [3] (buffer) getenv: Environment variables are untrustable input if they can be set by an attacker. They can have any content and length, and the same variable can be set more than once (CWE-807, CWE-20). Check environment variables carefully before using them. path = getenv ("PATH"); data/apt-build-0.12.48/wrapper.c:37:7: [3] (buffer) getenv: Environment variables are untrustable input if they can be set by an attacker. They can have any content and length, and the same variable can be set more than once (CWE-807, CWE-20). Check environment variables carefully before using them. if (getenv (APT_BUILD_STRING_ENV)) data/apt-build-0.12.48/config.c:58:3: [2] (buffer) char: Statically-sized arrays can be improperly restricted, leading to potential overflows or other issues (CWE-119!/CWE-120). Perform bounds checking, use functions that limit length, or ensure that the size is larger than the maximum possible length. char buf[BUF_SIZE]; data/apt-build-0.12.48/config.c:59:3: [2] (buffer) char: Statically-sized arrays can be improperly restricted, leading to potential overflows or other issues (CWE-119!/CWE-120). Perform bounds checking, use functions that limit length, or ensure that the size is larger than the maximum possible length. char opt[BUF_SIZE]; data/apt-build-0.12.48/config.c:68:10: [2] (misc) fopen: 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). conf = fopen (APT_BUILD_CONF_PATH, "r"); data/apt-build-0.12.48/config.c:26:20: [1] (buffer) strlen: Does not handle strings that are not \0-terminated; if given one it may perform an over-read (it could cause a crash if unprotected) (CWE-126). for (i = 0; i <= strlen (file_content) && file_content[i] != '"'; i++); data/apt-build-0.12.48/config.c:34:12: [1] (buffer) strlen: Does not handle strings that are not \0-terminated; if given one it may perform an over-read (it could cause a crash if unprotected) (CWE-126). for (j = strlen (file_content); j >= 1 && file_content[j - 1] != '"'; j--); data/apt-build-0.12.48/config.c:42:7: [1] (buffer) strlen: Does not handle strings that are not \0-terminated; if given one it may perform an over-read (it could cause a crash if unprotected) (CWE-126). if (strlen (file_content) > 2) data/apt-build-0.12.48/config.c:117:7: [1] (buffer) strlen: Does not handle strings that are not \0-terminated; if given one it may perform an over-read (it could cause a crash if unprotected) (CWE-126). strlen (options) && data/apt-build-0.12.48/config.c:146:24: [1] (buffer) strlen: Does not handle strings that are not \0-terminated; if given one it may perform an over-read (it could cause a crash if unprotected) (CWE-126). size_t len = strlen(path) + 6; data/apt-build-0.12.48/config.c:175:32: [1] (buffer) strlen: Does not handle strings that are not \0-terminated; if given one it may perform an over-read (it could cause a crash if unprotected) (CWE-126). setenv ("PATH", libdir + strlen (LIBDIR) + 1, 1); ANALYSIS SUMMARY: Hits = 14 Lines analyzed = 238 in approximately 0.03 seconds (8889 lines/second) Physical Source Lines of Code (SLOC) = 168 Hits@level = [0] 3 [1] 6 [2] 3 [3] 3 [4] 2 [5] 0 Hits@level+ = [0+] 17 [1+] 14 [2+] 8 [3+] 5 [4+] 2 [5+] 0 Hits/KSLOC@level+ = [0+] 101.19 [1+] 83.3333 [2+] 47.619 [3+] 29.7619 [4+] 11.9048 [5+] 0 Minimum risk level = 1 Not every hit is necessarily a security vulnerability.
