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-415
Double Free
The product calls free() twice on the same memory address, potentially leading to modification of unexpected memory locations.
