stack protection mechanisms
Stack protection mechanisms are security measures implemented in software to safeguard the stack data structure, which manages the execution of functions and stores important information such as function calls, variables, and return addresses. These mechanisms aim to prevent unauthorized access, manipulation, or exploitation of the stack by potential attackers, ensuring the integrity and reliability of the program's execution.
