Weaknesses that lead here
Classes of exploited vulnerability that CTID maps to this technique.
- CWE-1191 KEV CVEImproper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory BufferCode reads or writes past the end of a buffer, the root of most classic memory-corruption exploits.
- CWE-1201 KEV CVEBuffer Copy without Checking Size of Input ('Classic Buffer Overflow')Input is copied into a fixed-size buffer without checking its length, overwriting whatever follows.
- CWE-1211 KEV CVEStack-based Buffer OverflowAn overflow on the stack can overwrite the return address and redirect the program to attacker code.
- CWE-1221 KEV CVEHeap-based Buffer OverflowAn overflow on the heap corrupts neighbouring objects, often turned into code execution.
- CWE-6931 KEV CVEProtection Mechanism FailureA security feature exists but can be bypassed or doesn't engage when it should.
