Buffer Overflow Definition:
A Vulnerability that occurs when a program writes more data to a buffer than it can hold, causing data to overwrite adjacent memory.
What is Buffer Overflow?
Buffer Overflows can lead to crashes, memory corruption, or code execution by an attacker.
Why is Buffer Overflow important?
It happens due to improper handling of memory allocations.
How does Buffer Overflow work?
Attackers Exploit this by sending more data than a buffer can handle, overwriting critical memory regions.
Buffer Overflow Examples:
A Buffer Overflow can be used to execute harmful code by overwriting function pointers, if performed correctly, could transfer control of the program to the attacker.
Buffer Overflow Issues:
It allows attackers to gain control over the system or crash the application.
