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 *getenv (); data/gkdebconf-2.1.0/src/interface.c:636:3: [2] (buffer) char: Statically-sized arrays can be improperly restricted, leading to potential overflows or other issues (CWE-119!/CWE-120).
