TrapC is a new variant of the C programming language that specializes in cybersecurity. It aims to prevent the memory problems and buffer overflows that are common in C and C++. If users enter ...

Buffer Overflow bugs are unforgivable “The CISA and FBI recognize that memory safety vulnerabilities encompass a wide range of issues — many of which require significant time and effort to ...

A stack-buffer-overflow was discovered in zziplibv 0.13.77. The issue is being triggered in function __zzip_fetch_disk_trailer() at zzip/zip.c:340.Attackers may exploit this vulnerability to execute ...

Memory safety in C can be summed up in a few words: there isn’t any! C is the most popular programming language used to write applications for embedded systems, particularly microcontroller-based ...

2] Heap-based buffer overflow attack. This type of buffer overflow attack is aimed at another part of a system memory called Heap. This means an attack overwrites data at the heap side of the buffer.

But with the −1 stored in buffer_length slipping past the check and the compiler implicitly casting it as an unsigned int in the initializeBuffer function at [3] instead, it overflows to a high ...

For software developers interested in a recent buffer overflow discovered in 2021, we offer the following code in C, which is a simplified and rewritten version of a vulnerability in the ZTE ...

This went over very poorly with Netgate, which sponsored Macy's work. Netgate had already taken Macy's beta code from a FreeBSD 13 release candidate and placed it into production in pfSense's 2.5. ...
