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/dxtool-0.1/dxtool.c FINAL RESULTS: data/dxtool-0.1/dxtool.c:16:3: [4] (format) fprintf: If format strings can be influenced by an attacker, they can be exploited (CWE-134). Use a constant for the format specification. fprintf(stderr, dir == DIR_TO ? ">>" : "<<"); data/dxtool-0.1/dxtool.c:97:14: [3] (buffer) getopt: Some older implementations do not protect against internal buffer overflows (CWE-120, CWE-20). Check implementation on installation, or limit the size of all string inputs. while((c = getopt(argc, argv, "p:s:e:mxhvrd")) != EOF) data/dxtool-0.1/dxtool.c:95:12: [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. unsigned char pb[8]; data/dxtool-0.1/dxtool.c:162:12: [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((fd = open(port, O_RDWR)) == -1) data/dxtool-0.1/dxtool.c:170:14: [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. unsigned char b[10]; data/dxtool-0.1/dxtool.c:171:14: [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. unsigned char c[10]; data/dxtool-0.1/dxtool.c:195:14: [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. unsigned char b[10]; data/dxtool-0.1/dxtool.c:196:14: [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. unsigned char c[10]; data/dxtool-0.1/dxtool.c:174:11: [1] (buffer) read: Check buffer boundaries if used in a loop including recursive loops (CWE-120, CWE-20). while(read(fd, b, 8) == 8) data/dxtool-0.1/dxtool.c:210:8: [1] (buffer) read: Check buffer boundaries if used in a loop including recursive loops (CWE-120, CWE-20). if(read(fd, c, 8) != 8) ANALYSIS SUMMARY: Hits = 10 Lines analyzed = 273 in approximately 0.04 seconds (6499 lines/second) Physical Source Lines of Code (SLOC) = 242 Hits@level = [0] 17 [1] 2 [2] 6 [3] 1 [4] 1 [5] 0 Hits@level+ = [0+] 27 [1+] 10 [2+] 8 [3+] 2 [4+] 1 [5+] 0 Hits/KSLOC@level+ = [0+] 111.57 [1+] 41.3223 [2+] 33.0579 [3+] 8.26446 [4+] 4.13223 [5+] 0 Dot directories skipped = 1 (--followdotdir overrides) Minimum risk level = 1 Not every hit is necessarily a security vulnerability.
