exploiting integer overflow
Exploiting integer overflow refers to a technique where an attacker takes advantage of a programming error or limitation that occurs when a calculation surpasses the maximum value that can be stored in an integer variable, causing it to "overflow" and wrap around to the minimum value. This vulnerability can be used by the attacker to manipulate the program's behavior, potentially allowing unauthorized access, execution of malicious code, or other unintended consequences.
