Buffer overflow
The "Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures" (CVE) is a list of cybersecurity vulnerabilities that have been discovered, and they are collected in a database for everyone to see and improve or patch their software.
1. Search for, and identify the website that hosts the CVEs
2. Identify the total number of CVE entries as of now
3. How many CVE entries contain(or are relevant to) buffer overflow?
4. Which is the CVE-ID and the name of the software with buffer overflow vulnerability that was the most recent entry in the CVE list?
5. When was the most recent buffer overflow vulnerability posted in the CVE database?
6. Search the web, library, etc. and provide an example of a buffer overflow as follows:
a. Write the code that contains the buffer overflow and number each line (1, 2, 3, etc.)
b. Explain how the buffer overflow occurs in the code and on which line(s)
c. What are the negative effects of the buffer overflow in your example (identify line numbers too)
d. Provide the proper references of your example (websites, books, etc.)
