We decided to search and fix potential vulnerabilities in various projects. You can call this as you wish - some kind of help to open source projects; a method of promotion or testing of the analyzer. Another way to see it as a way to attract attention to the reliability and quality of the code. In fact, the way to name these posts does not really matter - we just like doing it. This is our little hobby. So, let us have a look at our findings in the code of various projects this week - we had some time to make fixes and suggest looking at them.
PVS-Studio is a tool that detects a large number of types of vulnerabilities and errors in the code. It performs static analysis and points to code fragments that are likely to contain errors. The best effect is achieved when the static analysis is performed regularly. Ideologically, the analyzer warnings are similar to the compiler warnings. However, unlike compilers, PVS-Studio can perform deeper and more versatile code analysis. This enables it to detect errors, even in compilers: GCC; LLVM 1, 2, 3; Roslyn.
The tool supports the analysis of C, C++ and C#; works under Windows and Linux. The analyzer can be integrated as a Visual Studio plug-in.
We suggest the following materials for further investigation of the tool:
In this section we show those defects that fall under the CWE classification and are potential vulnerabilities in their core. Of course, not all weaknesses are really threatening for a project, but we wanted to show that our tool is able to detect them.

We suggest downloading PVS-Studio analyzer and trying to check your project:
To remove the restrictions of a demo version, you can contact us and we will provide a temporary license key for you.
For a quick introduction to the analyzer, you can use the tools, tracking the runs of the compiler and collect all the necessary information for the analysis. See the description of the utilities CLMonitoring and pvs-studio-analyzer. If you are working with a classic type of project in Visual Studio, everything is much simpler: you should just choose in PVS-Studio menu a command "Check Solution".
