Flawfinder - Analyzes code for security risks
'Flawfinder' looks through source code for
potential security flaws in source code by using a built-in database
of C/C++ functions with well-known problems, and providing a list of
potential security flaws, sorted by risk, with the most potentially
dangerous flaws shown first. Risk level depends on both the function
and the values of the parameters of the function. It ignores text
inside comments and strings.
