Obsolete
Summary
Weaknesses in this category are listed in the "Risky Resource Management" section of the 2010 CWE/SANS Top 25 Programming Errors.
Membership
| ID | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| CWE-120 | Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input ('Classic Buffer Overflow') | The product copies an input buffer to an output buffer without verifying that the size of the input buffer is less than the size of the output buffer. |
| CWE-129 | Improper Validation of Array Index | The product uses untrusted input when calculating or using an array index, but the product does not validate or incorrectly validates the index to ensure the index references a valid position within the array. |
| CWE-131 | Incorrect Calculation of Buffer Size | The product does not correctly calculate the size to be used when allocating a buffer, which could lead to a buffer overflow. |
| CWE-190 | Integer Overflow or Wraparound | The product performs a calculation that can produce an integer overflow or wraparound when the logic assumes that the resulting value will always be larger than the original value. This occurs when an integer value is incremented to a value that is too large to store in the associated representation. When this occurs, the value may become a very small or negative number. |
| CWE-22 | Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') | The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory. |
| CWE-494 | Download of Code Without Integrity Check | The product downloads source code or an executable from a remote location and executes the code without sufficiently verifying the origin and integrity of the code. |
| CWE-754 | Improper Check for Unusual or Exceptional Conditions | The product does not check or incorrectly checks for unusual or exceptional conditions that are not expected to occur frequently during day to day operation of the product. |
| CWE-770 | Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling | The product allocates a reusable resource or group of resources on behalf of an actor without imposing any intended restrictions on the size or number of resources that can be allocated. |
| CWE-805 | Buffer Access with Incorrect Length Value | The product uses a sequential operation to read or write a buffer, but it uses an incorrect length value that causes it to access memory that is outside of the bounds of the buffer. |
| CWE-98 | Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program ('PHP Remote File Inclusion') | The PHP application receives input from an upstream component, but it does not restrict or incorrectly restricts the input before its usage in "require," "include," or similar functions. |
| CWE-800 | Weaknesses in the 2010 CWE/SANS Top 25 Most Dangerous Programming Errors | CWE entries in this view (graph) are listed in the 2010 CWE/SANS Top 25 Programming Errors. This view is considered obsolete as a newer version of the Top 25 is available. |
Vulnerability Mapping Notes
Usage: Prohibited
Reasons: Category
Rationale:
This entry is a Category. Using categories for mapping has been discouraged since 2019. Categories are informal organizational groupings of weaknesses that can help CWE users with data aggregation, navigation, and browsing. However, they are not weaknesses in themselves.
