CC BY-SA 4.0. Written in. C#. Stack Overflow is a question-and-answer website for computer programmers. It is the flagship site of the Stack Exchange Network. [2][3][4] It was created in 2008 by Jeff Atwood and Joel Spolsky. [5][6] It features questions and answers on certain computer programming topics. [7][8][9] It was created to be a more ...
Stack buffer overflow. In software, a stack buffer overflow or stack buffer overrun occurs when a program writes to a memory address on the program's call stack outside of the intended data structure, which is usually a fixed-length buffer. [1][2] Stack buffer overflow bugs are caused when a program writes more data to a buffer located on the ...

In programming and information security, a buffer overflow or buffer overrun is an anomaly whereby a program writes data to a buffer beyond the buffer's allocated memory, overwriting adjacent memory locations. Buffers are areas of memory set aside to hold data, often while moving it from one section of a program to another, or between programs.
Stack overflow may also refer to: Stack buffer overflow , when a program writes to a memory address on the program's call stack outside of the intended data structure; usually a fixed length buffer Stack Overflow , a question-and-answer website on the topic of computer programming
Stack-based memory allocation. A typical stack, storing local data and call information for nested procedure calls (not necessarily nested procedures). This stack grows downward from its origin. The stack pointer points to the current topmost datum on the stack. A push operation decrements the pointer and copies the data to the stack; a pop ...
Code segment. This shows the typical layout of a simple computer's program memory with the text, various data, and stack and heap sections. In computing, a code segment, also known as a text segment or simply as text, is a portion of an object file or the corresponding section of the program's virtual address space that contains executable ...
Stack Exchange. Stack Exchange is a network of question-and-answer (Q&A) websites on topics in diverse fields, each site covering a specific topic, where questions, answers, and users are subject to a reputation award process. The reputation system allows the sites to be self-moderating. [1] As of March 2023, the three most actively viewed ...
