CWE-1077: Floating Point Comparison with Incorrect Operator
ID
CWE-1077
Abstraction
Variant
Structure
Simple
Status
Incomplete
Number of CVEs
4
The code performs a comparison such as an
equality test between two float (floating point) values, but
it uses comparison operators that do not account for the
possibility of loss of precision.
Numeric calculation using floating point values can generate imprecise results because of rounding errors. As a result, two different calculations might generate numbers that are mathematically equal, but have slightly different bit representations that do not translate to the same mathematically-equal values. As a result, an equality test or other comparison might produce unexpected results.
This issue can prevent the product from running reliably. If the relevant code is reachable by an attacker, then this reliability problem might introduce a vulnerability.
