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/jshon-20131010/jshon.c FINAL RESULTS: data/jshon-20131010/jshon.c:100:17: [4] (format) vsnprintf: If format strings can be influenced by an attacker, they can be exploited, and note that sprintf variations do not always \0-terminate (CWE-134). Use a constant for the format specification. int count = vsnprintf(NULL, 0, format, ap); data/jshon-20131010/jshon.c:110:17: [4] (format) vsnprintf: If format strings can be influenced by an attacker, they can be exploited, and note that sprintf variations do not always \0-terminate (CWE-134). Use a constant for the format specification. count = vsnprintf(buffer, count + 1, format, ap); data/jshon-20131010/jshon.c:862:23: [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 ((optchar = getopt(argc, argv, ALL_OPTIONS)) != -1) data/jshon-20131010/jshon.c:972:27: [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 ((optchar = getopt(argc, argv, ALL_OPTIONS)) != -1) data/jshon-20131010/jshon.c:280:5: [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 buffer[BUFSIZ]; data/jshon-20131010/jshon.c:319:9: [2] (buffer) memcpy: Does not check for buffer overflows when copying to destination (CWE-120). Make sure destination can always hold the source data. memcpy(&content[content_size], buffer, bytes_r); data/jshon-20131010/jshon.c:375:10: [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). fp = fopen(path, "r"); data/jshon-20131010/jshon.c:1059:14: [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). fp = fopen(file_path, "w"); data/jshon-20131010/jshon.c:294:27: [1] (buffer) read: Check buffer boundaries if used in a loop including recursive loops (CWE-120, CWE-20). ssize_t bytes_r = read(fd, buffer, sizeof(buffer)); data/jshon-20131010/jshon.c:403:23: [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). char* last = in + strlen(in) - 1; data/jshon-20131010/jshon.c:481:50: [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). i = asprintf(&temp2, "%.*s", (signed)strlen(temp)-2, &temp[1]); data/jshon-20131010/jshon.c:609:20: [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). return strlen(json_string_value(json)); data/jshon-20131010/jshon.c:916:21: [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 (in_place && strlen(file_path)==0) data/jshon-20131010/jshon.c:921:14: [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). else if (strlen(file_path) > 0) data/jshon-20131010/jshon.c:1057:21: [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 (in_place && strlen(file_path) > 0) ANALYSIS SUMMARY: Hits = 15 Lines analyzed = 1066 in approximately 0.08 seconds (14092 lines/second) Physical Source Lines of Code (SLOC) = 857 Hits@level = [0] 26 [1] 7 [2] 4 [3] 2 [4] 2 [5] 0 Hits@level+ = [0+] 41 [1+] 15 [2+] 8 [3+] 4 [4+] 2 [5+] 0 Hits/KSLOC@level+ = [0+] 47.8413 [1+] 17.5029 [2+] 9.33489 [3+] 4.66744 [4+] 2.33372 [5+] 0 Dot directories skipped = 1 (--followdotdir overrides) Minimum risk level = 1 Not every hit is necessarily a security vulnerability.
