Memset-removal

Memset removal

memset-removal

This call to $MEMSET may be optimized out by the compiler because the buffer is not accessed later in the function. This could be an issue if $BUF contains sensitive data, such as passwords or cryptographic keys. Applications should use functions such as memset_s or memset_explicit to ensure that the sensitive data is cleared.
Likelihood: LOW
Confidence: MEDIUM
