However, vulnerability and risk are not the same thing, which can lead to confusion. Think of risk as the probability and impact of a vulnerability being exploited. If the impact and probability of a vulnerability being exploited is low, then there is low risk. Inversely, if the impact and...
By exploiting a buffer overflow vulnerability and flooding the system heap, an attacker can overwrite critical application data. Format String Attacks: Functions in the printf family in C/C++ can use format strings, which allow reading and writing of memory. If user-provided data is interpreted ...
What Is Buffer Overflow? Buffer overflow is a software coding error or vulnerability that can be exploited by hackers to gain unauthorized access to corporate systems. It is one of the best-known software security vulnerabilities yet remains fairly common. This is partly because buffer overflows ...
Format string attacks:Occurs when the submitted data of an input string is evaluated as a command by the application. In this way, the attacker could execute code, read the stack, or cause a segmentation fault in the running application, causing new behaviors that could compromise the security ...
AnyDesk before 5.5.3 on Linux and FreeBSD has a format string vulnerability that can be exploited for remote code execution. CVE-2020-27614 AnyDesk for macOS versions 6.0.2 and older have a vulnerability in the XPC interface that does not properly validate client requests and allows local ...
underflow occurs when –32768 is decremented by 1. Most integer overflows cannot directly exploit vulnerabilities triggered by items, such as integer ranges and symbols. However, if the integer variable determines operations such as memory allocation, it can be indirectly exploited as a vulnerability....
A stack has a finite size and overflow to store input when it exceeds the stack size. Stack buffer overflow isn't necessarily a problem but a vulnerability that when exploited by a threat actor becomes a security issue. Heap-based buffer overflow attack ...

During the process, if 64 is added to the base value, it adds up to 256. This value doesn’t fit in the allocated memory space since it would require 9 bits of memory. Format strings overflow attack In a format string attack, the attacker changes how an application flows. They do so...
