handle an error: int *ptr = malloc(sizeof(int) * 10); assert(ptr); // use ptr ... Here, the programmer is aware that malloc will return a NULL pointer...

sources of bugs in C programs is the memory management system, based on malloc. malloc sets aside a block of memory for use in the code and returns a reference...

overflow technique overwrites dynamic memory allocation linkage (such as malloc metadata) and uses the resulting pointer exchange to overwrite a program...

allocation can, and has been achieved through the use of techniques such as malloc and C++'s operator new; although established and reliable implementations...

Another frequent source of dangling pointers is a jumbled combination of malloc() and free() library calls: a pointer becomes dangling when the block of...
