code pointer hijacking
Code pointer hijacking refers to a malicious technique where an attacker manipulates or redirects the memory address of a code pointer so that it points to a different location in a program's memory. This enables the attacker to control the execution flow of the program, potentially leading to unauthorized access, exploitation, or unintended behavior.
