[New-bugs-announce] [issue42036] Unchecked return in Modules/posixmodule.c from multiple function calls

[Sagar Pant]

New submission from Sagar Pant <sagpant at microsoft.com>:

The return value of a function that is potentially used to initialize a local variable is not checked. Therefore, reading the local variable may result in undefined behavior.

Our AI analyzer flagged it to be a potential bug as it found another usage of the function in the codebase where the return value of the function was checked for success/failure before using it’s parameters.
