stack-based buffer overflows
Stack-based buffer overflows are a type of software vulnerability that occurs when a program writes more data to a memory buffer on the stack than it can hold, causing the excess data to overwrite adjacent memory locations and potentially allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary code or disrupt the program's normal execution.
