Category: CERT C++ Secure Coding Section 05 - Floating Point Arithmetic (FLP)
Incomplete
Summary
Weaknesses in this category are related to rules in the Floating Point Arithmetic (FLP) section of the CERT C++ Secure Coding Standard. Since not all rules map to specific weaknesses, this category may be incomplete.
Membership
| ID | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| CWE-369 | Divide By Zero | The product divides a value by zero. |
| CWE-681 | Incorrect Conversion between Numeric Types | When converting from one data type to another, such as long to integer, data can be omitted or translated in a way that produces unexpected values. If the resulting values are used in a sensitive context, then dangerous behaviors may occur. |
| CWE-682 | Incorrect Calculation | The product performs a calculation that generates incorrect or unintended results that are later used in security-critical decisions or resource management. |
| CWE-686 | Function Call With Incorrect Argument Type | The product calls a function, procedure, or routine, but the caller specifies an argument that is the wrong data type, which may lead to resultant weaknesses. |
| CWE-868 | Weaknesses Addressed by the SEI CERT C++ Coding Standard (2016 Version) | CWE entries in this view (graph) are fully or partially eliminated by following the SEI CERT C++ Coding Standard, as published in 2016. This view is no longer being actively maintained, since it statically represents the coding rules as they were in 2016. |
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.
