Query: Memory Error Detection in Security Testing   We study 10 C/C++ projects that have been using a static analysis security
testing tool. We analyze the historical scan reports generated by the tool and
study how frequently memory-related alerts appeared. We also studied the
subsequent developer action on those alerts. We also look at the CVEs published
for these projects within the study timeline and investigate how many of them
are memory related. Moreover, for one of this project, Linux, we investigate if
the involved flaws in the CVE were identified by the studied security tool when
they were first introduced in the code. We found memory related alerts to be
frequently detected during static analysis security testing. However, based on
how actively the project developers are monitoring the tool alerts, these
errors can take years to get fixed. For the ten studied projects, we found a
median lifespan of 77 days before memory alerts get fixed. We also find that
around 40% of the published CVEs for the studied C/C++ projects are related to
memory. These memory CVEs have higher CVSS severity ratings and likelihood of
having an exploit script public than non-memory CVEs. We also found only 2.5%
Linux CVEs were possibly detected during static analysis security testing.
