Description
Buffer overflow occurs when an application accepts more data than it can handle, leading to data overflowing the designated memory space. This vulnerability can be exploited by attackers to execute arbitrary code, potentially compromising the security and integrity of the system.
Recommendation
To mitigate buffer overflow vulnerabilities, developers should implement proper input validation and boundary checks to ensure that input data does not exceed the allocated buffer size.
