Linter: gosec, Rule: G115 - Potential integer overflow when converting between integer types. Should we enable it?

[zak-pawel]

Use Case

This issue starts discussion about enabling:

• linter: gosec - Inspects source code for security problems by scanning the Go AST.
• rule: G115 - Potential integer overflow when converting between integer types

Rule is mapped to CWE-190: Integer Overflow or Wraparound.

Expected behavior

Decision if rule should be enabled or not.

Actual behavior

For this rule following findings were found in current code:

Additional info

For this rule no additional configuration can be provided.

[zak-pawel]

A valuable rule, but after a quick review of the findings, it seems that there might be a lot of false positives (more info: here).

[srebhan]

While I would love to get a check on those, the number of false-positives worries me! I'd say we revisit this checker in a few versions and see if they honor bound checks... What do you think?

[zak-pawel]

@srebhan Makes perfect sense

[srebhan]

Should we close the issue then as "not planned" and you keep it on your list @zak-pawel?

[zak-pawel]

Let's do as you suggest.
