What is Understanding Buffer Overflow Attacks about?

A buffer overflow occurs when a program attempts to write more data to a buffer than it is configured to hold. This can overwrite adjacent memory and potentially allow attackers to execute arbitrary code. Common examples include overflowing buffers used to hold program input like strings. Precisely crafted attacks can exploit buffer overflows to compromise security by overwriting return addresses on the stack to redirect program flow to injected attack code. Defensive programming practices like bounds check
