CodeSonar ships with library models that allow it to recognize functions such as libc bind() that take a network address parameter. If one of these functions is called with a potentially-tainted value in the network address parameter position, a warning will be issued.
If you have created a custom library model for some function f() in terms of one of these existing models, calls to f() will also be capable of triggering Tainted Network Address warnings.
The following configuration file parameters affect checks for this warning class.
