--------------------------------------------

             Summary: Null Dereference
                 Key: CASSANDRA-12566
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-12566
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Sub-task
            Reporter: Eduardo Aguinaga


Overview:
In May through June of 2016 a static analysis was performed on version 3.0.5 of the Cassandra source code. The analysis included an automated analysis using HP Fortify v4.21 SCA and a manual analysis utilizing SciTools Understand v4. The results of that analysis includes the issue below.

Issue:
In the file CassandraDaemon.java on line 350 the line of code calls getResource and getClassLoader. Both of these calls can return a null and if so will result in a null dereference in this line of code.

{code:java}
CassandraDaemon.java, lines 348-356:
348 try
349 {
350     String reportFileLocation = CassandraDaemon.class.getClassLoader().getResource(metricsReporterConfigFile).getFile();
351     ReporterConfig.loadFromFile(reportFileLocation).enableAll(CassandraMetricsRegistry.Metrics);
352 }
353 catch (Exception e)
354 {
355     logger.warn("Failed to load metrics-reporter-config, metric sinks will not be activated", e);
356 }
{code}
