Buffer Overflows On the Stack<br />
When an application is launched three import program sections<br />
are created in memory. These sections contain different types<br />
of information.<br />
1. Text -> Stores machine instructions<br />
2. Stack -> Stores automatic variables and return addresses<br />
3. Heap -> Stores variables whose size is only known at<br />
runtime by using the malloc() function.<br />
