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/libwcat1-1.1/watchcat.c Examining data/libwcat1-1.1/watchcat.h FINAL RESULTS: data/libwcat1-1.1/watchcat.c:127:5: [4] (buffer) strcpy: Does not check for buffer overflows when copying to destination [MS-banned] (CWE-120). Consider using snprintf, strcpy_s, or strlcpy (warning: strncpy easily misused). strcpy(addr.sun_path, DEVICE); data/libwcat1-1.1/watchcat.c:138:17: [4] (format) snprintf: 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 = snprintf(buf, CAT_BUFSIZE, data/libwcat1-1.1/watchcat.c:146:17: [4] (format) snprintf: 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 = snprintf(buf, CAT_BUFSIZE, data/libwcat1-1.1/watchcat.c:20:8: [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 DEVICE[CAT_DEVICE_SIZE] = "/var/run/watchcat.socket"; data/libwcat1-1.1/watchcat.c:37:9: [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. char linfo[121], *p; data/libwcat1-1.1/watchcat.c:24:5: [1] (buffer) strncpy: Easily used incorrectly; doesn't always \0-terminate or check for invalid pointers [MS-banned] (CWE-120). strncpy(DEVICE, dev, CAT_DEVICE_SIZE); data/libwcat1-1.1/watchcat.c:91:13: [1] (buffer) read: Check buffer boundaries if used in a loop including recursive loops (CWE-120, CWE-20). r = read(fd, buf, count); data/libwcat1-1.1/watchcat.c:133:9: [1] (buffer) strncpy: Easily used incorrectly; doesn't always \0-terminate or check for invalid pointers [MS-banned] (CWE-120). strncpy(linfo, info, sizeof(linfo)-1); ANALYSIS SUMMARY: Hits = 10 Lines analyzed = 212 in approximately 0.02 seconds (9549 lines/second) Physical Source Lines of Code (SLOC) = 157 Hits@level = [0] 0 [1] 3 [2] 4 [3] 0 [4] 3 [5] 0 Hits@level+ = [0+] 10 [1+] 10 [2+] 7 [3+] 3 [4+] 3 [5+] 0 Hits/KSLOC@level+ = [0+] 63.6943 [1+] 63.6943 [2+] 44.586 [3+] 19.1083 [4+] 19.1083 [5+] 0 Dot directories skipped = 1 (--followdotdir overrides) Minimum risk level = 1 Not every hit is necessarily a security vulnerability.
