CWE 121: Stack-based Buffer Overflow - Risks & Attack Vectors

There are different ways in which stack-based buffer overflows can occur, such as when the return address is overwritten, the stack pointer is overwritten, or the frame pointer is overwritten. These buffer overflows can also be referred to as function pointer overwrites, array indexer overwrites, or write-what-where conditions, among others.
