2004-06-23Update flawfinder to 1.26. Don't set PY_PATCHPLIST, as it is useless.snj2-12/+6
Don't include python/extension.mk, as it is also useless. Don't set NO_CONFIGURE, because it makes PYTHON_PATCH_SCRIPTS useless. Don't set MAKEFILE, as we don't actually use the included makefile for anything. Changes since 1.24: * Added more support for Microsoft's approach to internationalization. * Added two new rules for GLib functions, "g_get_home_dir" and g_get_tmp_dir". * Added curl_getenv(). * Added several rules for input functions (for -I) - recv, recvfrom, recvmsg, fread, and readv. * Tightened the false positive test slightly; if a name is followed by = or - or + it's unlikely to be a function call, so it'll be quietly discarded. * Modified the summary report format slightly. * Modified the getpass text to remove an extraneous character. * Added rules for cuserid, getlogin, getpass, mkstemp, getpw, memalign, as well as the obsolete functions gsignal, ssignal, ulimit, usleep. * Modified text for strncat to clarify it. * Fixed error in --columns format, so that the output is simply "filename:linenumber:columnnumber" when --columns (-C) is used. * Eliminated "Number of" phrase in the footer report * Added more statistical information to the footer report. * Added shortcut single-letter commands (-D for --dataonly, -Q for --quiet, -C for --columns), so that invoking from editors is easier. * Tries to autoremove some false positives. In particular, a function name followed immediately by "=" (ignoring whitespace) is automatically considered to be a variable and NOT a function, and thus doesn't register as a hit. There are exotic cases where this won't be correct, but they're pretty unlikely in real code. * Added a "--falsepositive" (-F) option, which tries to remove many more likely false positives.
2004-02-14Update to 1.24:wiz2-5/+5
2003-10-29 David A. Wheeler * Fixed an incredibly obscure parsing error that caused some false positives. If a constant C string, after the closing double-quote, is followed by a \ and newline (instead of a comma), the string might not be recognized as a constant string (thus triggering warnings about non-constant values in some cases). This kind of formatting is quite ugly and rare. My thanks to Sascha Nitsch (sascha, at spsn.ath.cx) for pointing this bug out and giving me a test case to work with. * Added a warning for readlink. The implementation and warning are mine, but the idea of warning about readlink came from Stefan Kost (kost, at imn.htwk-leipzig.de). Thanks!! 2003-09-27 David A. Wheeler * Released version 1.23. Minor bugfixes. 2003-09-27 David A. Wheeler * Fixed subtle bug - in some circumstances single character constants wouldn't be parsed correctly. My thanks to Scott Renfro <scottdonotspam, at renfro.org> for notifying me about this bug. Scott Renfro also sent me a patch; I didn't use it (the patch didn't handle other cases), but I'm grateful since it illustrated the problem. * Fixed documentation bug in man page. The option "--minlevel=X" must be preceded by two dashes, as are all GNU-style long options. The man page accidentally only had one dash in the summary (it was correct elsewhere); it now correctly shows both dashes. * Modified man page to list filename extensions that are interpreted as C/C++. * Removed index.html from distribution - it's really only for the website.
2003-07-21COMMENT should start with a capital letter.martti1-2/+2
2003-07-17s/netbsd.org/NetBSD.org/grant1-2/+2
2003-06-02Use tech-pkg@ in favor of packages@ as MAINTAINER for orphaned packages.jschauma1-2/+2
Should anybody feel like they could be the maintainer for any of thewe packages, please adjust.
2003-03-09Update to 1.22.wiz2-5/+5
This release changes the output format slightly to improve integration with other tools, and improves the RPM packaging.
2002-09-23Update to 1.21:wiz2-5/+5
* Improved the default output so it creates multiple formatted lines instead of single very long lines for each hit. Use the new "--singleline" (-S) option to get the original "long line" format. * Removed duplicate "getpass" entry in the ruleset; this didn't hurt anything, but was unnecessary. Thanks to the user who gave me that feedback, wish I'd kept your email address so I could credit you properly :-). * Added a short tutorial to man page. * Fixed initial upper/lower case on many entries in the ruleset. * Allow "--input" as a synonym for "--inputs".
2002-09-21Strip the ".buildlink" from the names of the python application andjlam1-3/+3
extension Makefile fragments, because they really don't have anything to do with the buildlink[12] frameworks. Change all the Makefiles that use application.buildlink.mk and extension.buildlink.mk to use application.mk and extension.mk instead.
2002-07-14Initial import of flawfinder-1.20.wiz4-0/+36
flawfinder is a program that examines source code and reports possible security weaknesses (``flaws'') sorted by risk level. It's very useful for quickly finding and removing at least some potential security problems before a program is widely released to the public.
