| Abstract | Over the last decade, buffer overflow have been the most common form of security vulnerabilities. Buffer overflow attacks are one of the most serious classes of security threats, as they enable attackers to gain total control of a host computer locally or remotely. This repot1 is the result of a study to understand the principles of unix/linux buffer overflow vulnerabilities, model the essence of buffer overflow. Next, the study surveys existing static detection approaches, and works towards a better method of buffer overflow static detection. |
