C++: Don't propagate taint between field and struct [CPP-410]#1783
Merged
Conversation
To compensate for the lack of field flow, the taint tracking library has previously considered taint to flow from fields to their containing structs and back again from the structs to any of their fields. This leads to false flow between unrelated fields and is not needed now that we have proper flow through fields.
