Project Description

Flawfinder searches through source code looking for potential security flaws. It will provide a list of potential security flaws, sorted by risk, with the most potentially dangerous flaws shown first. This risk level depends not only on the function, but on the values of the parameters of the function. Flawfinder ignores text inside comments and strings.

Entries have been added to the database to detect file openings and static character array definitions. The HTML output format has been significantly improved. There are several nice improvements in flawfinder, including a timing report. Flawfinder now (by default) skips symbolic links, and always skips special files, to counter attackers who insert malicious files in their source code directories. Finally, the documentation has been improved in various ways.
