buffer overflow countermeasures
Buffer overflow countermeasures are preventive measures or techniques implemented to detect and minimize the potential damage caused by buffer overflow attacks. These measures aim to prevent attackers from exploiting the vulnerability where an excessive amount of data is written to a buffer, exceeding its intended capacity and causing the overflow.
