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/yara-python-4.0.2/yara-python.c FINAL RESULTS: data/yara-python-4.0.2/yara-python.c:878:7: [2] (buffer) memcpy: Does not check for buffer overflows when copying to destination (CWE-120). Make sure destination can always hold the source data. memcpy((char*) ptr + i * size, buffer, size); data/yara-python-4.0.2/yara-python.c:1648:3: [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 key[512]; data/yara-python-4.0.2/yara-python.c:2050:12: [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). fh = fopen(filepath, "r"); data/yara-python-4.0.2/yara-python.c:2127:18: [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). fh = fopen(filepath, "r"); data/yara-python-4.0.2/yara-python.c:49:46: [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). #define PY_STRING(x) PyUnicode_DecodeUTF8(x, strlen(x), "ignore" ) ANALYSIS SUMMARY: Hits = 5 Lines analyzed = 2428 in approximately 0.06 seconds (41762 lines/second) Physical Source Lines of Code (SLOC) = 1987 Hits@level = [0] 1 [1] 1 [2] 4 [3] 0 [4] 0 [5] 0 Hits@level+ = [0+] 6 [1+] 5 [2+] 4 [3+] 0 [4+] 0 [5+] 0 Hits/KSLOC@level+ = [0+] 3.01963 [1+] 2.51636 [2+] 2.01309 [3+] 0 [4+] 0 [5+] 0 Dot directories skipped = 1 (--followdotdir overrides) Minimum risk level = 1 Not every hit is necessarily a security vulnerability.
