Category: CERT C++ Secure Coding Section 11 - Signals (SIG)
Incomplete
Summary
Weaknesses in this category are related to rules in the Signals (SIG) 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-479 | Signal Handler Use of a Non-reentrant Function | The product defines a signal handler that calls a non-reentrant function. |
| CWE-662 | Improper Synchronization | The product utilizes multiple threads or processes to allow temporary access to a shared resource that can only be exclusive to one process at a time, but it does not properly synchronize these actions, which might cause simultaneous accesses of this resource by multiple threads or processes. |
| 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.
