FINAL RESULTS:

data/paxctl-0.9/paxctl.c:192:12:  [3] (buffer) getopt:
  Some older implementations do not protect against internal buffer overflows
  (CWE-120, CWE-20). Check implementation on installation, or limit the size
  of all string inputs.
    switch(getopt(argc, state->argv, "pPsSmMeErRxXvqQzcC")) {
data/paxctl-0.9/paxctl.c:41:3:  [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[2 * num_pax_flags + 1];
data/paxctl-0.9/paxctl.c:111:8:  [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).
  fd = open(state->argv[state->files], oflags);
