# ARR39-C: Do not add or subtract a scaled integer to a pointer
2+
3+
This query implements the CERT-C rule ARR39-C:
4+
5+
> Do not add or subtract a scaled integer to a pointer
6+
7+
8+
## Description
9+
10+
Pointer arithmetic is appropriate only when the pointer argument refers to an array (see [ARR37-C. Do not add or subtract an integer to a pointer to a non-array object](https://wiki.sei.cmu.edu/confluence/display/c/ARR37-C.+Do+not+add+or+subtract+an+integer+to+a+pointer+to+a+non-array+object)), including an array of bytes. When performing pointer arithmetic, the size of the value to add to or subtract from a pointer is automatically scaled to the size of the type of the referenced array object. Adding or subtracting a scaled integer value to or from a pointer is invalid because it may yield a pointer that does not point to an element within or one past the end of the array. (See [ARR30-C. Do not form or use out-of-bounds pointers or array subscripts](https://wiki.sei.cmu.edu/confluence/display/c/ARR30-C.+Do+not+form+or+use+out-of-bounds+pointers+or+array+subscripts).)
11+
12+
Adding a pointer to an array of a type other than character to the result of the `sizeof` operator or `offsetof` macro, which returns a size and an offset, respectively, violates this rule. However, adding an array pointer to the number of array elements, for example, by using the `arr[sizeof(arr)/sizeof(arr[0])])` idiom, is allowed provided that `arr` refers to an array and not a pointer.
13+
14+
## Noncompliant Code Example
15+
16+
In this noncompliant code example, `sizeof(buf)` is added to the array `buf`. This example is noncompliant because `sizeof(buf)` is scaled by `int` and then scaled again when added to `buf`.
17+
18+
```cpp
19+
enum { INTBUFSIZE = 80 };
20+
21+
extern int getdata(void);
22+
int buf[INTBUFSIZE];
23+
24+
void func(void) {
25+
int *buf_ptr = buf;
26+
27+
while (buf_ptr < (buf + sizeof(buf))) {
28+
*buf_ptr++ = getdata();
29+
}
30+
}
31+
```
32+
33+
## Compliant Solution
34+
35+
This compliant solution uses an unscaled integer to obtain a pointer to the end of the array:
36+
37+
```cpp
38+
enum { INTBUFSIZE = 80 };
39+
40+
extern int getdata(void);
41+
int buf[INTBUFSIZE];
42+
43+
void func(void) {
44+
int *buf_ptr = buf;
45+
46+
while (buf_ptr < (buf + INTBUFSIZE)) {
47+
*buf_ptr++ = getdata();
48+
}
49+
}
50+
```
51+
52+
## Noncompliant Code Example
53+
54+
In this noncompliant code example, `skip` is added to the pointer `s`. However, `skip` represents the byte offset of `ull_b` in `struct big`. When added to `s`, `skip` is scaled by the size of `struct big`.
55+
56+
```cpp
57+
#include <string.h>
58+
#include <stdlib.h>
59+
#include <stddef.h>
60+
61+
struct big {
62+
unsigned long long ull_a;
63+
unsigned long long ull_b;
64+
unsigned long long ull_c;
65+
int si_e;
66+
int si_f;
67+
};
68+
69+
void func(void) {
70+
size_t skip = offsetof(struct big, ull_b);
71+
struct big *s = (struct big *)malloc(sizeof(struct big));
72+
if (s == NULL) {
73+
/* Handle malloc() error */
74+
}
75+
76+
memset(s + skip, 0, sizeof(struct big) - skip);
77+
/* ... */
78+
free(s);
79+
s = NULL;
80+
}
81+
```
82+
83+
## Compliant Solution
84+
85+
This compliant solution uses an `unsigned char *` to calculate the offset instead of using a `struct big *`, which would result in scaled arithmetic:
86+
87+
```cpp
88+
#include <string.h>
89+
#include <stdlib.h>
90+
#include <stddef.h>
91+
92+
struct big {
93+
unsigned long long ull_a;
94+
unsigned long long ull_b;
95+
unsigned long long ull_c;
96+
int si_d;
97+
int si_e;
98+
};
99+
100+
void func(void) {
101+
size_t skip = offsetof(struct big, ull_b);
102+
unsigned char *ptr = (unsigned char *)malloc(
103+
sizeof(struct big)
104+
);
105+
if (ptr == NULL) {
106+
/* Handle malloc() error */
107+
}
108+
109+
memset(ptr + skip, 0, sizeof(struct big) - skip);
110+
/* ... */
111+
free(ptr);
112+
ptr = NULL;
113+
}
114+
```
115+
116+
## Noncompliant Code Example
117+
118+
In this noncompliant code example, `wcslen(error_msg) * sizeof(wchar_t)` bytes are scaled by the size of `wchar_t` when added to `error_msg`:
119+
120+
```cpp
121+
#include <wchar.h>
122+
#include <stdio.h>
123+
124+
enum { WCHAR_BUF = 128 };
125+
126+
void func(void) {
127+
wchar_t error_msg[WCHAR_BUF];
128+
129+
wcscpy(error_msg, L"Error: ");
130+
fgetws(error_msg + wcslen(error_msg) * sizeof(wchar_t),
131+
WCHAR_BUF - 7, stdin);
132+
/* ... */
133+
}
134+
```
135+
136+
## Compliant Solution
137+
138+
This compliant solution does not scale the length of the string; `wcslen()` returns the number of characters and the addition to `error_msg` is scaled:
139+
140+
```cpp
141+
#include <wchar.h>
142+
#include <stdio.h>
143+
144+
enum { WCHAR_BUF = 128 };
145+
const wchar_t ERROR_PREFIX[7] = L"Error: ";
146+
147+
void func(void) {
148+
const size_t prefix_len = wcslen(ERROR_PREFIX);
149+
wchar_t error_msg[WCHAR_BUF];
150+
151+
wcscpy(error_msg, ERROR_PREFIX);
152+
fgetws(error_msg + prefix_len,
153+
WCHAR_BUF - prefix_len, stdin);
154+
/* ... */
155+
}
156+
```
157+
158+
## Risk Assessment
159+
160+
Failure to understand and properly use pointer arithmetic can allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code.
