Sizeof-pointer-type
Sizeof pointer type
Using sizeof(...) on a pointer type is error prone and can lead to memory corruption if the incorrect size is used to allocate memory. An explicit length should be used instead of using sizeof(...).
Likelihood: LOW
Confidence: MEDIUM
CWE:
- CWE-467: Use of sizeof() on a Pointer Type
