Integer overflow: Each integer type in a computer language has a value range. An integer overflow occurs when an arithmetic operation attempts to create a numeric value outside of the range that can be represented with a given number of digits — either higher than the maximum (overflow) or ...
In computer security and programming, a buffer overflow, or buffer overrun, is an anomaly where a process stores data in a buffer outside the memory the programmer set aside for it. The extra data overwrites adjacent memory, which may contain other data, including program variables and program...
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...

Buffer overflows can be exploited by attackers with a goal of modifying a computer’s memory in order to undermine or take control of program execution. What’s a buffer? A buffer, or data buffer, is an area of physical memory storage used to temporarily store data while it is being move...

Stack attacks are the most common way to exploit buffer overflow issues. Heap-based attacks Unlike stack-based overflow, which targets the stack, heap-based attacks target dynamically allocated memory on the heap. This happens when a buffer in the heap - which is a region of a computer's me...
A buffer overflow can be: Accidental. You try to do too much within one program, and you exceed the space the program gives you. The program may begin to behave erratically, and in some cases, it may stop working altogether. Intentional. Someone sends in data that's too large for your...
