Check implementation on installation, or limit the size of all string inputs. while ((opt = getopt(argc, argv, "b:cC:eE:hH:l:n:p:tW:")) != -1) { data/libpuzzle-0.11/src/dvec.c:60:14: [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 header[MAX_SIGNATURE_LENGTH]; data/libpuzzle-0.11/src/dvec.c:530:15: [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). if ((fp = fopen(file, "rb")) == NULL) { ANALYSIS SUMMARY: Hits = 3 Lines analyzed = 2077 in approximately 0.09 seconds (22889 lines/second) Physical Source Lines of Code (SLOC) = 1811 Hits@level = [0] 19 [1] 0 [2] 2 [3] 1 [4] 0 [5] 0 Hits@level+ = [0+] 22 [1+] 3 [2+] 3 [3+] 1 [4+] 0 [5+] 0 Hits/KSLOC@level+ = [0+] 12.148 [1+] 1.65654 [2+] 1.65654 [3+] 0.552181 [4+] 0 [5+] 0 Dot directories skipped = 1 (--followdotdir overrides) Minimum risk level = 1 Not every hit is necessarily a security vulnerability.
