I am getting security threat in GCDAsyncUdpSocke.m class file
There is occurrences of malloc() function which is an insecure function acc to security tool.
void *buf = malloc(bufSize);
void *buf = malloc(bufSize);
Below is the issue description and reference links from security team.
Issue description: Use of insecure functions/potential dangerous functions
Reference links: CWE-676: Use of Potentially Dangerous Function
CWE-789 - Uncontrolled Memory Allocation
This would explain why SECURITY TEAM is recommending the change of these functions.
Thanks and Regards

Hi,
I am getting security threat in UDPEcho.m class file
There are 1 occurrence of strncpy function which is an insecure function acc to security tool.

(void)ssl;
(void)hint;
(void)keymaxlen;
/* identity is OpenSSL testing default for openssl sclient, keep same */
strncpy(identity, wolfsslPSKIdentityHint, idmaxlen);
for(int i = 0; i < wolfsslMasterToken.length; i++)
{
key[i] = [wolfsslMasterToken characterAtIndex:i];
}
return 16; /* length of key in octets or 0 for error */
