Buffer overflows are not only inconvenient, but dangerous too. Buffer overflow happens when a program or process tries to write more data than the memory buffer can hold -- and it overflows into the memory adjacent to the buffer. It’s one of the most common software weaknesses -- and attackers can exploit a buffer overflow to control, crash, or modify a process.
