Difference between Buffer overflow and Stack overflow

Buffer overflow vs. Stack overflow

In information security and programming, a buffer overflow, or buffer overrun, is an anomaly where a program, while writing data to a buffer, overruns the buffer's boundary and overwrites adjacent memory locations. In software, a stack overflow occurs if the call stack pointer exceeds the stack bound.

Similarities between Buffer overflow and Stack overflow

Buffer overflow and Stack overflow have 8 things in common (in Unionpedia): C (programming language), C dynamic memory allocation, C++, Call stack, GNU Compiler Collection, Heap overflow, Segmentation fault, Stack buffer overflow.

C (programming language)

C (as in the letter ''c'') is a general-purpose, imperative computer programming language, supporting structured programming, lexical variable scope and recursion, while a static type system prevents many unintended operations.

Segmentation fault

In computing, a segmentation fault (often shortened to segfault) or access violation is a fault, or failure condition, raised by hardware with memory protection, notifying an operating system (OS) the software has attempted to access a restricted area of memory (a memory access violation).

Stack buffer overflow

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 intended data structure, which is usually a fixed-length buffer.
