Priority Score
Attack Technique
A buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a memory buffer than it was allocated to hold, causing the excess data to spill into adjacent memory regions.
Denial of Service attacks render applications or systems unavailable by overwhelming resources or triggering failure conditions.
