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/kali-3.1/panel.c Examining data/kali-3.1/icons.h Examining data/kali-3.1/io.h Examining data/kali-3.1/kali.h Examining data/kali-3.1/panel.h Examining data/kali-3.1/symmetry.h Examining data/kali-3.1/callbacks.c Examining data/kali-3.1/help.h Examining data/kali-3.1/main.h Examining data/kali-3.1/psio.c Examining data/kali-3.1/symmetry.c Examining data/kali-3.1/xio.c Examining data/kali-3.1/printmain.c Examining data/kali-3.1/kali.c FINAL RESULTS: data/kali-3.1/callbacks.c:310:11: [4] (shell) popen: This causes a new program to execute and is difficult to use safely (CWE-78). try using a library call that implements the same functionality if available. psf = popen(filename, "w"); data/kali-3.1/callbacks.c:359:3: [4] (buffer) sprintf: Does not check for buffer overflows (CWE-120). Use sprintf_s, snprintf, or vsnprintf. sprintf(quest, "Do you really want to print this on the \"%s\" printer?", data/kali-3.1/callbacks.c:363:9: [4] (shell) popen: This causes a new program to execute and is difficult to use safely (CWE-78). try using a library call that implements the same functionality if available. p = popen(" lpr ","w"); data/kali-3.1/callbacks.c:358:19: [3] (buffer) getenv: Environment variables are untrustable input if they can be set by an attacker. 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 *printer = getenv("PRINTER"); data/kali-3.1/callbacks.c:289:9: [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). pat = fopen(filename, "r"); data/kali-3.1/callbacks.c:357:3: [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 quest[80]; data/kali-3.1/kali.c:369:2: [2] (buffer) char: Statically-sized arrays can be improperly restricted, leading to potential overflows or other issues (CWE-119!/CWE-120).
