One of the simplest scenarios in which vulnerable code can manifest itself - which can usually be spotted immediately - goes hand in hand with the copying of buffer data using functions such as strcpy, without performing any check on the size of the copy. The above shows part of the vulnerable code on the University of Washington's IMAP server, whi...
When the indexes or cut conditions in iterative loops are badly programmed, it can result in more bytes being copied than was intended: either one byte (off-by-one) or several (off-by-a-few). Take, for example, this old version of the OpenBSDFTP demon: While the purpose of the code is to reserve one byte for the null character at the end of the str...
One thing that can often happen when attempting to avoid an excessive amount of data copying to a buffer - by checking the size to be copied - is that the number of bytes to be copied exceeds the largest number that can be represented by the data type, rotating toward small values. The check ends up being completed only because the size is interpre...

Source code should be assessed for security vulnerabilities early in the development cycle to catch potential problems before they become costly to remediate. In this article, we’ll detail how to find and fix security vulnerabilities in your source code.
Keep your code secure by using code scanning to identify and fix potential security vulnerabilities and other errors in your code.
Apr 16, 2021 · If your project is larger, it will take considerably longer to scan and your results might not come up as production-ready. So go through the Sonarqube report and address any issues it reports. This is a great way to make sure your code is as clean and issue-free as possible.
