AndrewMeneely, inThe Art and Science of Analyzing Software Data, 2015 8.3.2Example CVSS Application To demonstrate the application of theCVSS, consider the following vulnerability entry number CVE-2011-3607: Integer overflowin the ap_pregsub function in server/util.c in the Apache HTTP Server 2.0...
Domain and range errors:A domain error happens when an illegal input is used. For example, if X and Y are defined asreal numbersand the operationX=Yis attempted withY=−1, a domain error will have occurred, the value of Y being illegal. On the other hand, if X and Y are complex...
The term "overflow" in English, while seemingly simple, encompasses a broad range of meanings depending on the context. It's a versatile word that finds application in various fields, from computer science to everyday language. This exploration will delve into the multifaceted nature of overflow,...
Isn't that an example of the computer science question "Can a computer recognize when it is in an infinite loop"? Sounds like it, and the simple answer is sometimes, but not every case. So even if a compiler tries to insert instructions to stop a buffer overflow from recursive calls I...

In this simplified example, we see the dangers of non-null-terminated strings. When “foo” is placed into normal_buffer, it is null terminated because there is additional space in the buffer. That is not the case with full_buffer. When this is executed, the results look like this: T...
(RAM). The purpose of a buffer is to hold data right before it is used. For example, when you download an audio or video file from the Internet, it may load the first 20% of it into a buffer and then begin to play. While the clip plays back, the computer continually downloads ...
I recommend reading aboutstack overflow(the programming error, not the website), andrecursion in computer science. Wikipedia is a good starting point, but if you find it a bit terse, you should also be able to find a number of articles, blog posts and educational material online. ...
Every read receives the most recent write or an error * Availability: Every request receives a (non-error) response - without the guarantee that it contains the most recent write * Partition tolerance: The system continues to operate despite an arbitrary number of messages being dropped (or dela...
Similar to thestrcpyfunction isstrcat.A common programming error is the use of thestrcatfunction without first checking the size of the array. This can be seen in the following example: Sign in to download full-size image Sign in to download full-size image ...
