CWE CATEGORY: CERT C Secure Coding Standard (2008) Chapter 7 - Arrays (ARR)Category ID: 740 Vulnerability Mapping:
PROHIBITEDThis CWE ID must not be used to map to real-world vulnerabilities

Summary Weaknesses in this category are related to the rules and recommendations in the Arrays (ARR) chapter of the CERT C Secure Coding Standard (2008). Membership Nature | Type | ID | Name |

MemberOf | View - a subset of CWE entries that provides a way of examining CWE content. The two main view structures are Slices (flat lists) and Graphs (containing relationships between entries). | 734 | Weaknesses Addressed by the CERT C Secure Coding Standard (2008) | HasMember | Class - a weakness that is described in a very abstract fashion, typically independent of any specific language or technology. More specific than a Pillar Weakness, but more general than a Base Weakness. Class level weaknesses typically describe issues in terms of 1 or 2 of the following dimensions: behavior, property, and resource. | 119 | Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer | HasMember | Variant - a weakness
that is linked to a certain type of product, typically involving a specific language or technology. More specific than a Base weakness. Variant level weaknesses typically describe issues in terms of 3 to 5 of the following dimensions: behavior, property, technology, language, and resource. | 129 | Improper Validation of Array Index | HasMember | Variant - a weakness
that is linked to a certain type of product, typically involving a specific language or technology. More specific than a Base weakness. Variant level weaknesses typically describe issues in terms of 3 to 5 of the following dimensions: behavior, property, technology, language, and resource. | 467 | Use of sizeof() on a Pointer Type | HasMember | Base - a weakness
that is still mostly independent of a resource or technology, but with sufficient details to provide specific methods for detection and prevention. Base level weaknesses typically describe issues in terms of 2 or 3 of the following dimensions: behavior, property, technology, language, and resource. | 469 | Use of Pointer Subtraction to Determine Size | HasMember | Class - a weakness that is described in a very abstract fashion, typically independent of any specific language or technology. More specific than a Pillar Weakness, but more general than a Base Weakness. Class level weaknesses typically describe issues in terms of 1 or 2 of the following dimensions: behavior, property, and resource. | 665 | Improper Initialization | HasMember | Base - a weakness
that is still mostly independent of a resource or technology, but with sufficient details to provide specific methods for detection and prevention. Base level weaknesses typically describe issues in terms of 2 or 3 of the following dimensions: behavior, property, technology, language, and resource. | 805 | Buffer Access with Incorrect Length Value |
Vulnerability Mapping Notes Usage: PROHIBITED (this CWE ID must not be used to map to real-world vulnerabilities) | Reason: 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. | Comments: See member weaknesses of this category. |
Notes Relationship
In the 2008 version of the CERT C Secure Coding standard, the following rules were mapped to the following CWE IDs:
- CWE-119 ARR00-C Understand how arrays work
- CWE-119 ARR33-C Guarantee that copies are made into storage of sufficient size
- CWE-119 ARR34-C Ensure that array types in expressions are compatible
- CWE-119 ARR35-C Do not allow loops to iterate beyond the end of an array
- CWE-129 ARR00-C Understand how arrays work
- CWE-129 ARR30-C Guarantee that array indices are within the valid range
- CWE-129 ARR38-C Do not add or subtract an integer to a pointer if the resulting value does not refer to a valid array element
- CWE-467 ARR01-C Do not apply the sizeof operator to a pointer when taking the size of an array
- CWE-469 ARR36-C Do not subtract or compare two pointers that do not refer to the same array
- CWE-469 ARR37-C Do not add or subtract an integer to a pointer to a non-array object
- CWE-665 ARR02-C Explicitly specify array bounds, even if implicitly defined by an initializer
- CWE-805 ARR33-C Guarantee that copies are made into storage of sufficient size
