Buffer overflow protection is any of various techniques used during software development to enhance the security of executable programs by detecting buffer...

information security, a buffer overflow or buffer overrun is an anomaly whereby a program writes data to a buffer beyond the buffer's allocated memory, overwriting...

In software, a stack buffer overflow or stack buffer overrun occurs when a program writes to a memory address on the program's call stack outside of the...

A heap overflow, heap overrun, or heap smashing is a type of buffer overflow that occurs in the heap data area. Heap overflows are exploitable in a different...

Descriptors provide essential memory protection, security, safety, catching all attempts at out-of-bounds access and buffer overflow. Descriptors are a form of...

Function prologue and epilogue also sometimes contain code for buffer overflow protection. A function prologue typically does the following actions if the...
