Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Buffer overflow vulnerabilities occur when a program tries to store more data in a temporary storage area (buffer) than it was designed to hold. This can allow an attacker to write malicious code into the overflowed area and execute it, potentially taking control of the affected system. Many attacks in recent years have relied on exploiting buffer overflow vulnerabilities.
