Using strncpy(), strncat(), snprintf(), and fgets() all mitigate this problem by specifying the expected input"ĮDIT: Security Note for snprintf and vsnprintf: The functions snprintf, vsnprintf, and variants are dangerous if used incorrectly. The scanf () family of functions also may result in buffer overflows. gets () is another function that reads input (into a buffer) from stdin until a terminating newline or EOF (End of File) is found.

) (which sets the string used to display process identifier information)."ĮDIT : Also from Overrunsand_Overflows, "C library functions such as strcpy (), strcat (), sprintf () and vsprintf () operate on null terminated strings and perform no bounds checking. Also syslog() (writes system log information) and setproctitle(const char *fmt. This issue is prevalent with the printf() family of functions, printf(),fprintf(), sprintf(), snprintf(). Where to look for this potential vulnerability. This directive takes an int* and writes the number of bytes so far to that location. "Worse again is using the %n directive in printf().
