Xu Liang · 2006
Buffer overflow attack is the most common and the most dangerous attack method used in network attacks. Various solutions have been developed to address the buffer overflow vulnerability problem in both research and commercial communities. First, detection and prevention technologies of buffer overflow vulnerability are classified as nine groups. Then, each group’s rationale, characteristics, applicable field, merits and limits are researched. Finally, the whole detection and prevention technologies of buffer overflow vulnerability are analyzed and discussed.
