173414 - flawfinder warnings in nspr

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(NSPR :: NSPR, defect)

Description

[Stephen P. Morse]

I run flawfinder (http://www.dwheeler.com/flawfinder) on Mozilla 1.0.1 branch.

flawfinder found 358 warnings in nsprpub code (1-358). Go through that list and 
for each warning:

* If it is false positive, comment here why it is not an issue
* If it is a real issue, make patch for it here and let's get them checked in

In addition the checking the branch, also check the trunk.

I will attach an excerpt of the log since the full log is so big and inside NS
firewall.

Could we get some progress on this bug?

Closing all open flawfinder bugs as WORKSFORME because we now have much better tools that do the same (well, better) kind of analysis (Coverity, Klocwork).
