Question
I need help with a diagram of a stack showing the items below for the code below and how to exploit the buffer overflow vulnerability. (1) The order of parameters (if applicable), return address, saved registers (if applicable), and local variable(s), (2) their sizes in bytes, (3) size of the overflowing buffer to reach return address, and (4) the overflow direction in the stack #include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> int main(int argc, char *argv[]){ char buffer[16]; strcpy(buffer,argv[1]); }
Explanation / Answer
Answer :
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
void testFunction (char *inString)
{
char buffer[16];
strcpy (buffer, inString);
}
int main()
{
char *inString = "The string input has size more than 16";
testFunction (inString);
return 0;
}
