A buffer overflow occurs when data written to a buffer exceeds the length of the buffer, so that corrupting data values in memory addresses adjacent the end of the buffer. This often occurs when copying data into a buffer without sufficient bounds checking. You can refer to Aleph One’s famo...

bounds functionality checking to protect the buffer. Avoid using functions that do not check the buffer (for example, in the C language, replace gets() with fgets()). Use built-in protected languages or use special security programs in the language code to prevent buffer overflow vulnerabilities...
Buffer overflow attacks have been there for a long time. It still exists today partly because of programmers carelessness while writing a code. The reason I said ‘partly’ because sometimes a well written code can be exploited with buffer overflow attac
InternalBufferOverflowException Examples The following example shows how to create a FileSystemWatcher to monitor file changes (creates, deletes, renames, changes) occurring on a disk drive. The example also shows how to properly receive error notifications. ...
Unicode overflow- A unicode overflow creates a buffer overflow by inserting unicode characters into an input that expect ASCII characters. (ASCII and unicode are encoding standards that let computers represent text. For example the letter ‘a’ is represented by the number 97 in ASCII. While ASCII...
