界: Errors

錯誤和錯誤處理代表一種 API 類別。與錯誤處理相關的錯誤非常普遍,所以它們應該擁有自己的特殊領域。如同「API 濫用」,有兩種方法可以引入與錯誤相關的安全漏洞:最常見的一種方法是不當處理錯誤 (或根本沒有處理)。第二種是產生錯誤,這些錯誤不是給的資訊太多 (給可能的攻擊者),就是問題難以處理。

Poor Error Handling: Program Catches NullPointerException

Abstract
一般而言,捕捉 NullPointerException 不是個好方法。
Explanation
通常在以下三個情況,程式設計師會擷取 NullPointerException

1.程式包含了 Null 指標解除參照。擷取異常狀況的結果比修復基本問題還要簡單。

2. 程式明確的拋出了 NullPointerException 異常狀況來提醒出現錯誤情況。

3. 程式碼是測試代碼的一部分,它在測試的類別中提供了非預期的輸入。

在上述三種情況中,只有最後一種是可接受的。

範例:以下程式碼錯誤地擷取了 NullPointerException


try {
mysteryMethod();
}
catch (NullPointerException npe) {
}
