buffer overflow prevention

Buffer overflow prevention refers to techniques and practices employed in computer programming to avoid or mitigate vulnerabilities caused by buffer overflow, a situation where a program writes data beyond the boundaries of a fixed-size buffer. This prevention encompasses various measures such as input validation, proper handling of user input, memory protection mechanisms, and code inspections to ensure the integrity and security of software.
