Avoid overflow due to reading a not zero terminated string
Avoid overflow when writing to a buffer
Use vector and string instead of arraysPrevent buffer overflows from tainted data
Avoid buffer write overflow from tainted data
Do not use the 'char' buffer to store input from 'std::cin'

Checks for:

• Use of dangerous standard function
• Missing null in string array
• Buffer overflow from incorrect string format specifier
• Destination buffer overflow in string manipulation
• Insufficient destination buffer size
