memory-overwrite protection
1Memory protection — is a way to control memory access rights on a computer, and is a part of most modern operating systems. The main purpose of memory protection is to prevent a process from accessing memory that has not been allocated to it. This prevents a bug… …
2C memory model — Memory models in the C programming language are a way to specify assumptions that the compiler should make when generating code for segmented memory or paged memory platforms.For example, on the 16 bit x86 platform, six memory models exist. They… …
3Buffer overflow protection — refers to various techniques used during software development to enhance the security of executable programs by detecting buffer overflows on stack allocated variables as they occur and preventing them from becoming serious security… …
4Virtual memory/rewrite — Virtual memory is a computer system technique that gives an application program the impression it has contiguous working memory, while in fact it is physically fragmented and may even overflow on to disk storage. Systems which use this technique… …

6Data Execution Prevention — (DEP) is a security feature included in modern operating systems. It is known to be available in Linux, Mac OS X, and Microsoft Windows operating systems and is intended to prevent an application or service from executing code from a non… …
7Buffer overflow — In computer security and programming, a buffer overflow, or buffer overrun, is an anomalous condition where a process attempts to store data beyond the boundaries of a fixed length buffer. The result is that the extra data overwrites adjacent… …
8Stack buffer overflow — In software, a stack buffer overflow occurs when a program writes to a memory address on the program s call stack outside of the intended data structure; usually a fixed length buffer.cite web last = Fithen first = William L coauthors = Seacord,… …
9Data remanence — is the residual representation of data that remains even after attempts have been made to remove or erase the data. This residue may result from data being left intact by a nominal file deletion operation, by reformatting of storage media that… …
