-PScan is a C source code security scanner, which looks for misuse of
-libc functions which use varargs and printf-style formatting
-operators. In many situations these can cause security vulnerabilities
-in the application if it runs with privileges (setugid, or listening
-to a network socket, etc).
-
-An example of the kind of situation pscan looks for is the following:
-
- variable = "%s"; /* or malicious user input */
- sprintf(buffer, variable); /* BAD! */
