stack buffer overflow
A stack buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data into a fixed-size buffer than it can hold, causing the excess data to overwrite adjacent memory addresses on the program's stack. This vulnerability can be exploited by attackers to execute malicious code or gain unauthorized access to a system.
