structured exception handler (seh) overwrite
A structured exception handler (SEH) overwrite refers to a type of software vulnerability where an attacker overwrites the exception handling mechanism in a program to gain unauthorized control and exploit the application. This can lead to the execution of arbitrary code or crash the software, potentially allowing the attacker to take control of the affected system.
