Intersection( EXP37-C, FIO47-C) =

• Invalid argument types passed to format I/O function

EXP37-C – FIO47-C =

• Invalid argument types passed to non-format I/O function

FIO47-C – EXP37-C =

• Invalid format string, but correctly matches arguments in number and type

Intersection( CWE-686, FIO47-C) =

• Use of format strings that do not match the type of arguments

CWE-686 – FIO47-C =

• Incorrect argument type in functions outside of the printf() family.

FIO47-C – CWE-686 =

• Invalid format strings that still match their arguments in type

CWE-685 and FIO47-C

Intersection( CWE-685, FIO47-C) =

• Use of format strings that do not match the number of arguments

CWE-685 – FIO47-C =

• Incorrect argument number in functions outside of the printf() family.

FIO47-C – CWE-685 =

• Invalid format strings that still match their arguments in number

CWE-134 and FIO47-C

Intersection( FIO30-C, FIO47-C) =

• Use of untrusted and ill-specified format string

FIO30-C – FIO47-C =

• Use of untrusted, but well-defined format string

FIO47-C – FIO30-C =

• Use of Ill-defined, but trusted format string

FIO47-C = Union(CWE-134, list) where list =

• Using a trusted but invalid format string
