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/shhopt-1.1.7/shhopt.h Examining data/shhopt-1.1.7/shhopt.c Examining data/shhopt-1.1.7/example.c FINAL RESULTS: data/shhopt-1.1.7/shhopt.c:55:5: [4] (format) vfprintf: If format strings can be influenced by an attacker, they can be exploited (CWE-134). Use a constant for the format specification. vfprintf(stderr, format, ap); data/shhopt-1.1.7/shhopt.c:138:12: [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 ret[31]; data/shhopt-1.1.7/shhopt.c:141:2: [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(ret, "--"); data/shhopt-1.1.7/shhopt.c:107:17: [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). matchlen = strlen(s); data/shhopt-1.1.7/shhopt.c:142:2: [1] (buffer) strncpy: Easily used incorrectly; doesn't always \0-terminate or check for invalid pointers [MS-banned] (CWE-120). strncpy(ret + 2, opt->longName, 28); ANALYSIS SUMMARY: Hits = 5 Lines analyzed = 610 in approximately 0.03 seconds (22734 lines/second) Physical Source Lines of Code (SLOC) = 351 Hits@level = [0] 11 [1] 2 [2] 2 [3] 0 [4] 1 [5] 0 Hits@level+ = [0+] 16 [1+] 5 [2+] 3 [3+] 1 [4+] 1 [5+] 0 Hits/KSLOC@level+ = [0+] 45.584 [1+] 14.245 [2+] 8.54701 [3+] 2.849 [4+] 2.849 [5+] 0 Dot directories skipped = 1 (--followdotdir overrides) Minimum risk level = 1 Not every hit is necessarily a security vulnerability.
