memory disclosure attacks
Memory disclosure attacks refer to the security vulnerabilities where an attacker gains unauthorized access to a computer system's memory to retrieve sensitive information, such as passwords, encryption keys, or personal data. This can be done by exploiting software bugs, weaknesses in memory protection mechanisms, or other means to extract information from the computer's memory, potentially compromising the security and privacy of the system or its users.
