| Description: | Serious bug in a program where insufficient bound-checking is done on memory addresses. When a buffer overflow occurs in data stored in the program stack, nominal execution of the program can be diverted. Intruders may try to install and execute code to perform malicious actions. You can read an interesting article on buffer overflows at http://www.ee.oulu.fi/research/ouspg/protos/sota/EICAR2000-overflow-survey/index.html. |
