In software, a stack overflow occurs if the call stack pointer exceeds the stack bound. The call stack may consist of a limited amount of address space...

In software, a stack buffer overflow or stack buffer overrun occurs when a program writes to a memory address on the program's call stack outside of the...

microcontrollers, have a single-instruction subroutine call that uses a dedicated hardware stack to store return addresses—such hardware supports only...

A stack register is a computer central processor register whose purpose is to keep track of a call stack. On an accumulator-based architecture machine...

In computing, a stack trace (also called stack backtrace or stack traceback) is a report of the active stack frames at a certain point in time during the...

separate stack that "shadows" the program call stack. In the function prologue, a function stores its return address to both the call stack and the shadow...

memory address on the program's call stack outside of the intended data structure, which is usually a fixed-length buffer. Stack buffer overflow bugs are caused...

result, so a rich set of operations can be computed. In stack machine code (sometimes called p-code), instructions will frequently have only an opcode...

from within itself may cause the call stack to have a size equal to the sum of the input sizes of all involved calls. It follows that, for problems that...

stored implicitly in the call stack. Depth-first search is easily implemented via a stack, including recursively (via the call stack), while breadth-first...

and code signing. In this technique, an attacker gains control of the call stack to hijack program control flow and then executes carefully chosen machine...

use the %s and %x format tokens, among others, to print data from the call stack or possibly other locations in memory. One may also write arbitrary data...

A stack overflow is a programming error when too much memory is used on the call stack. Stack overflow may also refer to: Stack buffer overflow, when...

systems as well as Microsoft Windows implement a function called alloca for dynamically allocating stack memory in a way similar to the heap-based malloc. A...

depending on the C call stack for its own stack. In practice, Stackless Python uses the C stack, but the stack is cleared between function calls. The most prominent...

starting with a buffer overflow in which a subroutine return address on a call stack is replaced by an address of a subroutine that is already present in the...
