top (no defect, but i yield)
pgrep ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Error: TAINTED_SCALAR:
agree that argv might be tainted
but the (int)argv[1][1] index is being passed to isdigit() function (and glibc safely indexes into array sized at 384 bytes)
my_category: avoidable_false_positive (out of step with current glibc implementation)
pgrep.c:720: tainted_data: Passing tainted variable "argv" to a tainted sink.
pgrep.c:558: data_index: Using tainted variable "(int)argv[1][1]" as an index to pointer "*__ctype_b_loc()".
pmap -------------------------------------------------------------------------
Error: EVALUATION_ORDER:
agree that there is a problem.
moreover, it deals with an undocumented command line argument (but sami has documentation addition pending)
a deference was added in line with intent, hopefully avoids this warning
my_category: defect_was_fixed
pmap.c:314: write_write_order: In "arg2 = (arg2 ? arg2++ : arg1)", "arg2" is written in "arg2" (the assignment left-hand side) and written in "arg2 ? arg2++ : arg1" but the order in which the side effects take place is undefined because there is no intervening sequence point.
pwdx -------------------------------------------------------------------------
Error: STRING_NULL:
static buffer is initialized to 0
it is +1 larger than size passed to readlink
was fixed in previous analysis
my_category: avoidable_false_positive
pwdx.c:86: string_null_argument: Function "readlink" does not terminate string "*buf".
pwdx.c:73: var_assign_var: Assigning: "s" = "buf". Both now point to the same unterminated string.
pwdx.c:73: var_assign_var: Assigning: "s" = "buf". Both now point to the same unterminated string.
pwdx.c:73: var_assign_var: Assigning: "s" = "buf". Both now point to the same unterminated string.
pwdx.c:92: string_null: Passing unterminated string "s" to "printf".
slabtop ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Error: MISSING_BREAK:
intentional fall through after setting return code
no change made
my_category: possibly_filter_out_?
slabtop.c:314: unterminated_case: This case (value 104) is not terminated by a 'break' statement.
slabtop.c:316: fallthrough: The above case falls through to this one.
Error: TAINTED_SCALAR:
read limited to single byte signed 'char'
ultimately passed to toupper() function (and glibc safely indexes into array sized at 384 bytes)
my_category: avoidable_false_positive (out of step with current glibc implementation)
slabtop.c:387: tainted_data_argument: Calling function "read" taints argument "c".
slabtop.c:389: tainted_data: Passing tainted variable "c" to a tainted sink.
slabtop.c:233: data_index: Using tainted variable "(int)c" as an index to pointer "*__ctype_toupper_loc()".
sysctl -----------------------------------------------------------------------
Error: TOCTOU:
the pathlength between these two events cannot be reduced further
instead of assessing intervening lines of code, perhaps tool should assess 'if' statements (2)
my_category: avoidable_false_positive
sysctl.c:149: fs_check_call: Calling function "stat" to perform check on "tmpname".
sysctl.c:168: toctou: Calling function "fopen" that uses "tmpname" after a check function. This can cause a time-of-check, time-of-use race condition.
Error: TOCTOU:

tload ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Error: TAINTED_STRING:
altered perror call to provide an untainted string
my_category: defect_was_fixed
tload.c:89: tainted_string: Passing tainted string "argv[optind]" to a function that cannot accept tainted data.
top --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Error: FORWARD_NULL:
cpus cannot be NULL without fp also being NULL
the very next 'if (!fp)' ensures cpus will be allocated
my_category: avoidable_false_positive
top.c:1790: assign_zero: Assigning: "cpus" = 0.
top.c:1807: var_deref_op: Dereferencing null variable "cpus".
Error: OVERRUN_STATIC:
This "error" is centered around the following code:
f = w->pflgsall[i + w->begpflg];
w->procflgs[i] = f;
#ifndef USE_X_COLHDR
if (P_MAXPFLGS < f) continue;
#endif
h = Fieldstab[f].head;
The enum P_MAXPFLGS is strictly a fencepost and can *never* appear in the arrays pflgsall or procflgs.
Thus it (39th element) cannot be used in referencing Fieldstab.
However, two enums of higher value (X_XON=40 and X_XOF=41) *can* appear in those arrays.
But the test against the fencepost ensures that those two enums are *never* used in referencing Fieldstab.
When the analyzer sees the conditional using '<' and not '<=' it reports a false positive.
i'm tired of explaining this so the program was changed to accommodate the tool's deficiency
my_category: unavoidable_false_positive_but_patched_anyway
top.c:1417: overrun-local: Overrunning static array "Fieldstab", with 39 elements, at position 39 with index variable "f".

vmstat -----------------------------------------------------------------------
Error: FORWARD_NULL:
partition made non-null with optarg for -p where statMode |= PARTITIONSTAT
if no optarg then program exits with usage
thus call to diskpartition_format will be with non-null pointer
my_category: avoidable_false_positive
vmstat.c:593: assign_zero: Assigning: "partition" = 0.
vmstat.c:669: var_deref_model: Passing null variable "partition" to function "diskpartition_format", which dereferences it.
vmstat.c:301: deref_parm_in_call: Function "strcmp" dereferences parameter "partition_name". (The dereference is assumed on the basis of the 'nonnull' parameter attribute.)
watch ------------------------------------------------------------------------
