Buffer overflows have been a serious security problem for software developers for several decades now, but the history of exploitation research on this class of flaws is relatively short.

The most common form of buffer overflow, called the stack overflow, can be easily prevented by programmers. More esoteric forms of memory corruption, including the heap overflow, are harder to avoid.

The other trend here is the rise of Heap buffer overflow exploits. After staying off the radar for some time, Heap buffer exploits were responsible for several High level threats earlier this month.

Buffer Overflow Attacks in cybersecurity occur as a result of excess data being input into a system memory buffer. Examples, Prevention & Causes discussed.
