FINAL RESULTS:
data/w9wm-0.4.2/9wm.c:702:9: [4] (shell) execvp:
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.
execvp(myargv[0], myargv);
data/w9wm-0.4.2/menu.c:126:7: [4] (shell) execvp:
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.
execvp(args[0], args);
data/w9wm-0.4.2/menu.c:285:17: [4] (shell) execl:
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.
execl(shell, shell, "-c", termprog, (char *) NULL);
data/w9wm-0.4.2/menu.c:289:13: [4] (shell) execlp:
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.
execlp("xterm", "xterm", "-ut", (char *) NULL);
data/w9wm-0.4.2/menu.c:290:13: [4] (shell) execlp:
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.
execlp("9term", "9term", "-9wm", (char *) NULL);
data/w9wm-0.4.2/9wm.c:148:21: [3] (buffer) getenv:
Environment variables are untrustable input if they can be set by an
attacker. They can have any content and length, and the same variable can
be set more than once (CWE-807, CWE-20). Check environment variables
carefully before using them.
shell = (char *)getenv("SHELL");
data/w9wm-0.4.2/9wm.c:50:1: [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 * progsnames[NUMMENUITEMS + 1];
data/w9wm-0.4.2/9wm.c:127:14: [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).
int n = atoi(argv[++i]);
data/w9wm-0.4.2/9wm.c:907:10: [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 = fopen (buffer, "r");
data/w9wm-0.4.2/cursor.c:18:14: [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.
unsigned char mask[64];
data/w9wm-0.4.2/cursor.c:19:14: [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.
unsigned char fore[64];
data/w9wm-0.4.2/error.c:28:5: [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 msg[80], req[80], number[80];
data/w9wm-0.4.2/error.c:39:5: [2] (buffer) sprintf:
Does not check for buffer overflows (CWE-120). Use sprintf_s, snprintf, or
vsnprintf. Risk is low because the source has a constant maximum length.
sprintf(number, "%d", e->request_code);
data/w9wm-0.4.2/menu.c:24:1: [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 *b2items[NUMVIRTUALS+1] =
data/w9wm-0.4.2/menu.c:48:1: [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 *b3items[B3FIXED+MAXHIDDEN+1] =
data/w9wm-0.4.2/menu.c:106:7: [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 *p, *args[NUMARGS + 2];
data/w9wm-0.4.2/9wm.c:920:18: [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 (buffer[strlen(buffer)-1] == '\n')
data/w9wm-0.4.2/9wm.c:921:9: [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).
buffer[strlen(buffer)-1] = 0;
data/w9wm-0.4.2/grab.c:75:45: [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).
tx = (wide - XTextWidth(font, m->item[i], strlen(m->item[i])))/2;
data/w9wm-0.4.2/grab.c:77:53: [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).
XDrawString(dpy, menuwin, gc, tx, ty, m->item[i], strlen(m->item[i]));
data/w9wm-0.4.2/grab.c:100:45: [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).
wide = XTextWidth(font, m->item[n], strlen(m->item[n])) + 4;
