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/monsterz-0.7.1/monsterz.c FINAL RESULTS: data/monsterz-0.7.1/monsterz.c:58:13: [4] (shell) execv: 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. execv(script, newargv); data/monsterz-0.7.1/monsterz.c:19:5: [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/monsterz-0.7.1/monsterz.c:41:25: [2] (integer) atoi: Unless checked, the resulting number can exceed the expected range (CWE-190). If source untrusted, check both minimum and maximum, even if the input had no minus sign (large numbers can roll over into negative number; consider saving to an unsigned value if that is intended). dup2(fd[1], atoi(outfd)); data/monsterz-0.7.1/monsterz.c:72:23: [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). FILE *f = fopen(score, "w"); data/monsterz-0.7.1/monsterz.c:66:15: [1] (buffer) read: Check buffer boundaries if used in a loop including recursive loops (CWE-120, CWE-20). ret = read(fd[0], buffer + pos, 1); ANALYSIS SUMMARY: Hits = 5 Lines analyzed = 89 in approximately 0.01 seconds (7319 lines/second) Physical Source Lines of Code (SLOC) = 66 Hits@level = [0] 3 [1] 1 [2] 3 [3] 0 [4] 1 [5] 0 Hits@level+ = [0+] 8 [1+] 5 [2+] 4 [3+] 1 [4+] 1 [5+] 0 Hits/KSLOC@level+ = [0+] 121.212 [1+] 75.7576 [2+] 60.6061 [3+] 15.1515 [4+] 15.1515 [5+] 0 Dot directories skipped = 1 (--followdotdir overrides) Minimum risk level = 1 Not every hit is necessarily a security vulnerability.
