How does a buffer overflow attack occur?
What will be an ideal response?
A buffer overflow attack occurs when a process attempts to store data in RAM beyond the boundaries of a fixed-length storage buffer. This extra data overflows into the adjacent memory locations. Because the storage buffer typically contains the "return address" memory location of the software program that was being executed when another function interrupted the process, an attacker can overflow the buffer with a new address pointing to the attacker's malware code.
