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/nullidentd-1.0/nullidentd.c FINAL RESULTS: data/nullidentd-1.0/nullidentd.c:146:5: [3] (random) srand: This function is not sufficiently random for security-related functions such as key and nonce creation (CWE-327). Use a more secure technique for acquiring random values. srand(getpid() ^ time(NULL)); data/nullidentd-1.0/nullidentd.c:83:12: [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 buf[MAX_RANDOMID+1]; data/nullidentd-1.0/nullidentd.c:108:5: [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 response[MAX_RESPONSE]; data/nullidentd-1.0/nullidentd.c:109:5: [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 request[MAX_REQUEST]; data/nullidentd-1.0/nullidentd.c:57:6: [1] (buffer) read: Check buffer boundaries if used in a loop including recursive loops (CWE-120, CWE-20). if( read( fd, &c, 1 ) != 1 ) { data/nullidentd-1.0/nullidentd.c:129:6: [1] (buffer) strlen: Does not handle strings that are not \0-terminated; if given one it may perform an over-read (it could cause a crash if unprotected) (CWE-126). if( strlen( userid ) > MAX_USERID ) { ANALYSIS SUMMARY: Hits = 6 Lines analyzed = 170 in approximately 0.01 seconds (12824 lines/second) Physical Source Lines of Code (SLOC) = 117 Hits@level = [0] 7 [1] 2 [2] 3 [3] 1 [4] 0 [5] 0 Hits@level+ = [0+] 13 [1+] 6 [2+] 4 [3+] 1 [4+] 0 [5+] 0 Hits/KSLOC@level+ = [0+] 111.111 [1+] 51.2821 [2+] 34.188 [3+] 8.54701 [4+] 0 [5+] 0 Dot directories skipped = 1 (--followdotdir overrides) Minimum risk level = 1 Not every hit is necessarily a security vulnerability.
