FINAL RESULTS:

data/lua-ljsyscall-0.12/examples/dl.c:278:44:  [5] (race) chmod:
  This accepts filename arguments; if an attacker can move those files, a
  race condition results. (CWE-362). Use fchmod( ) instead.
  if (strcmp(symbol, "chmod") == 0) return chmod;
data/lua-ljsyscall-0.12/examples/dl.c:279:44:  [5] (race) chown:
  This accepts filename arguments; if an attacker can move those files, a
  race condition results. (CWE-362). Use fchown( ) instead.
  if (strcmp(symbol, "chown") == 0) return chown;
data/lua-ljsyscall-0.12/examples/dl.c:386:47:  [5] (race) readlink:
  This accepts filename arguments; if an attacker can move those files or
  change the link content, a race condition results. Also, it does not
  terminate with ASCII NUL. (CWE-362, CWE-20). Reconsider approach.
  if (strcmp(symbol, "readlink") == 0) return readlink;
data/lua-ljsyscall-0.12/examples/dl.c:274:45:  [4] (race) access:
  This usually indicates a security flaw. If an attacker can change anything
  along the path between the call to access() and the file's actual use
  (e.g., by moving files), the attacker can exploit the race condition
  (CWE-362/CWE-367!). Set up the correct permissions (e.g., using setuid())
  and try to open the file directly.
  if (strcmp(symbol, "access") == 0) return access;
data/lua-ljsyscall-0.12/examples/dl.c:280:45:  [3] (misc) chroot:
  chroot can be very helpful, but is hard to use correctly (CWE-250, CWE-22).
  Make sure the program immediately chdir("/"), closes file descriptors, and
  drops root privileges, and that all necessary files (and no more!) are in
  the new root.
  if (strcmp(symbol, "chroot") == 0) return chroot;
data/lua-ljsyscall-0.12/examples/dl.c:374:43:  [2] (misc) open:
  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 (strcmp(symbol, "open") == 0) return open;
data/lua-ljsyscall-0.12/examples/dl.c:387:43:  [1] (buffer) read:
  Check buffer boundaries if used in a loop including recursive loops
  (CWE-120, CWE-20).
  if (strcmp(symbol, "read") == 0) return read;
data/lua-ljsyscall-0.12/examples/dl.c:420:44:  [1] (access) umask:
  Ensure that umask is given most restrictive possible setting (e.g., 066 or
  077) (CWE-732).
  if (strcmp(symbol, "umask") == 0) return umask;
