Out-of-Bounds Write Exploit

A memory corruption attack enabling unauthorized code execution.

Understanding:

An Out-of-Bounds Write Exploit occurs when a program writes data outside the allocated memory buffer, leading to crashes, code execution, or privilege escalation.

Common Applications and Use Cases:

Exploitation of Software Vulnerabilities – Used in attacks like buffer overflows.
Privilege Escalation – Allows attackers to execute arbitrary code.

Best Practices and Security Considerations:

Use Memory-Safe Programming Languages – Reduce risk by avoiding unsafe memory handling.
Implement Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) – Makes exploitation harder.
