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/holes-0.1/holes.c FINAL RESULTS: data/holes-0.1/holes.c:81:14: [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, "b:n:s")) != -1) data/holes-0.1/holes.c:20:9: [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. static char buf[16384]; data/holes-0.1/holes.c:123:16: [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). stdin : fopen(argv[i], "rb"); ANALYSIS SUMMARY: Hits = 3 Lines analyzed = 140 in approximately 0.01 seconds (10892 lines/second) Physical Source Lines of Code (SLOC) = 125 Hits@level = [0] 12 [1] 0 [2] 2 [3] 1 [4] 0 [5] 0 Hits@level+ = [0+] 15 [1+] 3 [2+] 3 [3+] 1 [4+] 0 [5+] 0 Hits/KSLOC@level+ = [0+] 120 [1+] 24 [2+] 24 [3+] 8 [4+] 0 [5+] 0 Dot directories skipped = 1 (--followdotdir overrides) Minimum risk level = 1 Not every hit is necessarily a security vulnerability.
