A collection of checks that report uses of library functions prone to internal buffer overflows.

CERT_C-API02-a
CERT_C-API02-b

Avoid using unsafe string functions which may cause buffer overflows
Don't use unsafe C functions that do write to range-unchecked buffers

Array access out of bounds

Array access with tainted index

Pointer access out of bounds

Use of dangerous standard function

Use of tainted pointer

Pointer dereference with tainted offset

Array index outside bounds during array access

Array index from unsecure source possibly outside array bounds

Pointer dereferenced outside its bounds

Dangerous functions cause possible buffer overflow in destination buffer

Pointer from an unsecure source may be NULL or point to unknown memory

Offset is from an unsecure source and dereference may be out of bounds
