defense mechanisms against stack-based buffer overflow

Defense mechanisms against stack-based buffer overflow refer to techniques or methods implemented within a system or software to prevent or mitigate the exploitation of vulnerabilities related to overflowing stack-based buffers, which can lead to unauthorized execution of malicious code. These mechanisms typically involve implementing runtime checks, randomization, or other security measures to detect or disrupt attempts to exploit buffer overflows, thereby enhancing the overall security and stability of the system.
