How to Fix CWE-190: Integer Overflow

Verified by Precogs Threat Research

An integer value wraps around when it exceeds its maximum value, leading to unexpected behavior.

⚠️ Impact if Unpatched

Buffer overflows, incorrect calculations, denial of service, privilege escalation.

Step-by-Step Remediation

  1. Use safe integer arithmetic libraries
  2. Validate input ranges before arithmetic operations
  3. Use larger integer types when overflow is possible
  4. Enable compiler warnings for integer overflow (-ftrapv in GCC)
  5. Use languages with built-in overflow protection (Rust, Python)

Don't just patch one instance.
