In computing, a stack trace (also called stack backtrace or stack traceback) is a report of the active stack frames at a certain point in time during the...

buffer overflow protection modifies the organization of data in the stack frame of a function call to include a "canary" value that, when destroyed,...

adding a new stack frame to the call stack. Most of the frame of the current procedure is no longer needed, and can be replaced by the frame of the tail...
