  2. Buffer overflow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffer_overflow

    Visualization of a software buffer overflow. Data is written into A, but is too large to fit within A, so it overflows into B.. 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.

  3. NOP slide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NOP_slide

    To do this, much larger sections of the stack are corrupted with the no-op machine instruction. At the end of the attacker-supplied data, after the no-op instructions, the attacker places an instruction to perform a relative jump to the top of the buffer where the shellcode is located. This collection of no-ops is referred to as the "NOP-sled ...

  4. NOP (code) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NOP_(code)

    0x66 is the operand-size override prefix. 0x0F 0x1F is a two-byte NOP opcode that takes a ModRM operand upon which no operation is performed; 0x00 is [EAX], 0x40 0x00 is [EAX + 00H], 0x44 0x00 0x00 is [EAX + EAX*1 + 00H], 0x80 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 is [EAX + 00000000H], and 0x84 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 is [EAX + EAX*1 + 00000000H].

  5. Memory corruption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_corruption

    Buffer overflow is one of the most common programming flaws exploited by computer viruses, causing serious computer security issues (e.g. return-to-libc attack, stack-smashing protection) in widely used programs. In some cases programs can also incorrectly access the memory before the start of a buffer.

  7. Buffer overflow protection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffer_overflow_protection

    Stack buffer overflow is a type of the more general programming malfunction known as buffer overflow (or buffer overrun). Overfilling a buffer on the stack is more likely to derail program execution than overfilling a buffer on the heap because the stack contains the return addresses for all active function calls. [1] Stack buffer overflow can ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_leak

    Buffer overflow; Memory management; Memory debugger; Plumbr is a popular memory leak detection tool for applications running on Java Virtual Machine. nmon (short for Nigel's Monitor) is a popular system monitor tool for the AIX and Linux operating systems.

  9. Code sanitizer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_sanitizer

    A code sanitizer is a programming tool that detects bugs in the form of undefined or suspicious behavior by a compiler inserting instrumentation code at runtime. The class of tools was first introduced by Google's AddressSanitizer (or ASan) of 2012, which uses directly mapped shadow memory to detect memory corruption such as buffer overflows or accesses to a dangling pointer (use-after-free).
