The accidental addition of a data-structure sentinel can cause serious programming logic problems.

The product copies an input buffer to an output buffer without verifying that the size of the input buffer is less than the size of the output buffer, leading to a buf...

The product calls a function, procedure, or routine, but the caller specifies an argument that is the wrong data type, which may lead to resultant weaknesses.

The product constructs a string for a command to be executed by a separate component in another control sphere, but it does not properly delimit the intended arguments...

The product constructs all or part of an OS command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes...

The product does not terminate or incorrectly terminates a string or array with a null character or equivalent terminator.

The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it can read from or write to a memory location that is outside of the intended boundary of the buffer.

The product does not correctly calculate the length of strings that can contain wide or multi-byte characters.

The product does not correctly convert an object, resource, or structure from one type to a different type.

A product calculates or uses an incorrect maximum or minimum value that is 1 more, or 1 less, than the correct value.
