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/python-setuptools-44.1.1/launcher.c FINAL RESULTS: data/python-setuptools-44.1.1/launcher.c:46:5: [4] (format) fprintf: If format strings can be influenced by an attacker, they can be exploited (CWE-134). Use a constant for the format specification. fprintf(stderr, format, data); data/python-setuptools-44.1.1/launcher.c:239:5: [4] (buffer) sprintf: Does not check for buffer overflows (CWE-120). Use sprintf_s, snprintf, or vsnprintf. sprintf(cmdline, "%s", executable); data/python-setuptools-44.1.1/launcher.c:242:9: [4] (buffer) sprintf: Does not check for buffer overflows (CWE-120). Use sprintf_s, snprintf, or vsnprintf. sprintf(cmdline+len, " %s", args[counter]); data/python-setuptools-44.1.1/launcher.c:267:5: [4] (buffer) strcat: Does not check for buffer overflows when concatenating to destination [MS-banned] (CWE-120). Consider using strcat_s, strncat, strlcat, or snprintf (warning: strncat is easily misused). strcat(script, (GUI ? "-script.pyw" : "-script.py")); data/python-setuptools-44.1.1/launcher.c:318:9: [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(ptr, (const char * const *)(newargs)); data/python-setuptools-44.1.1/launcher.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 drive[_MAX_DRIVE], dir[_MAX_DIR], fname[_MAX_FNAME], ext[_MAX_EXT]; data/python-setuptools-44.1.1/launcher.c:110:5: [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 path[_MAX_PATH], c, *result; data/python-setuptools-44.1.1/launcher.c:250:5: [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 python[256]; /* python executable's filename*/ data/python-setuptools-44.1.1/launcher.c:252:5: [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 script[256]; /* the script's filename */ data/python-setuptools-44.1.1/launcher.c:271:15: [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). scriptf = open(script, O_RDONLY); data/python-setuptools-44.1.1/launcher.c:285:9: [2] (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). Risk is low because the source is a constant string. strcpy(python, "#!python.exe"); data/python-setuptools-44.1.1/launcher.c:51:17: [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). int i, ln = strlen(data), nb; data/python-setuptools-44.1.1/launcher.c:100:5: [1] (buffer) strncpy: Easily used incorrectly; doesn't always \0-terminate or check for invalid pointers [MS-banned] (CWE-120). strncpy(result, exename, MAX_PATH); data/python-setuptools-44.1.1/launcher.c:125:20: [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). result = dir + strlen(dir) -1; data/python-setuptools-44.1.1/launcher.c:137:28: [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). char **result = calloc(strlen(cmdline), sizeof(char *)); data/python-setuptools-44.1.1/launcher.c:233:9: [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). len=strlen(executable)+2; data/python-setuptools-44.1.1/launcher.c:235:14: [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). len+=strlen(args[counter])+1; data/python-setuptools-44.1.1/launcher.c:240:9: [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). len=strlen(executable); data/python-setuptools-44.1.1/launcher.c:243:14: [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). len+=strlen(args[counter])+1; data/python-setuptools-44.1.1/launcher.c:263:20: [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). end = script + strlen(script); data/python-setuptools-44.1.1/launcher.c:275:20: [1] (buffer) read: Check buffer boundaries if used in a loop including recursive loops (CWE-120, CWE-20). end = python + read(scriptf, python, sizeof(python)); ANALYSIS SUMMARY: Hits = 21 Lines analyzed = 336 in approximately 0.12 seconds (2798 lines/second) Physical Source Lines of Code (SLOC) = 196 Hits@level = [0] 2 [1] 10 [2] 6 [3] 0 [4] 5 [5] 0 Hits@level+ = [0+] 23 [1+] 21 [2+] 11 [3+] 5 [4+] 5 [5+] 0 Hits/KSLOC@level+ = [0+] 117.347 [1+] 107.143 [2+] 56.1224 [3+] 25.5102 [4+] 25.5102 [5+] 0 Dot directories skipped = 1 (--followdotdir overrides) Minimum risk level = 1 Not every hit is necessarily a security vulnerability.
