stack-based buffer overflow
A stack-based buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a stack-based buffer than it can hold, causing the excess data to overwrite adjacent memory. This can potentially allow an attacker to execute malicious code or gain control over the program by exploiting the vulnerability.
