This work develops a taxonomy of buffer overflow vulnerabilities based upon characteristics, or preconditions that must hold for an exploitable buffer overflow to exist. We analyze several software ...

Buffer overflow attack is the most common and arguably the most dangerous attack method. The buffer overflow detecting will play a significant role in network security filed. Various solutions have ...

A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the rsync daemon. This issue is due to improper handling of attacker-controlled checksum lengths (s2length) in the code.

This score calculates overall vulnerability severity from 0 to 10 and is based on the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS). Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and ...
