10 // This checker detects a common memory allocation security flaw.
11 // Suppose 'unsigned int n' comes from an untrusted source. If the
12 // code looks like 'malloc (n * 4)', and an attacker can make 'n' be
13 // say MAX_UINT/4+2, then instead of allocating the correct 'n' 4-byte
14 // elements, this will actually allocate only two because of overflow.
15 // Then when the rest of the program attempts to store values past the
16 // second element, these values will actually overwrite other items in
17 // the heap, probably allowing the attacker to execute arbitrary code.
