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/bomstrip-9/bomstrip.cpp Examining data/bomstrip-9/bomstrip.c FINAL RESULTS: data/bomstrip-9/bomstrip.c:6:1: [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[BUFSIZ]; data/bomstrip-9/bomstrip.c:26:24: [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). nread = fread(buf, 1, strlen(utf8bom), stdin); ANALYSIS SUMMARY: Hits = 2 Lines analyzed = 89 in approximately 0.01 seconds (7572 lines/second) Physical Source Lines of Code (SLOC) = 68 Hits@level = [0] 3 [1] 1 [2] 1 [3] 0 [4] 0 [5] 0 Hits@level+ = [0+] 5 [1+] 2 [2+] 1 [3+] 0 [4+] 0 [5+] 0 Hits/KSLOC@level+ = [0+] 73.5294 [1+] 29.4118 [2+] 14.7059 [3+] 0 [4+] 0 [5+] 0 Dot directories skipped = 1 (--followdotdir overrides) Minimum risk level = 1 Not every hit is necessarily a security vulnerability.
