Heap-based buffer overflow
Heap-based buffer overflow
  1. Program writes beyond heap buffer limits.
  2. Insufficient input validation allows memory overwriting.
  3. Exploiting it: Arbitrary code execution, denial of service, data compromise.
  4. Mitigation: Heap integrity checks, input validation, safe memory allocation.
  5. Heap-based overflows persist as a significant security concern.
