techniques to mitigate buffer overflow attacks
Techniques to mitigate buffer overflow attacks refer to a set of preventative measures or strategies implemented during software development or system configuration to prevent or minimize the impact of buffer overflow vulnerabilities. These techniques involve rigorous input validation, secure coding practices, careful memory management, and the use of exploit mitigation technologies to safeguard against potential buffer overflow attacks.
