A stack buffer overflow is an exploitation technique used by hackers to gain access to a computer system or program by writing data past the boundaries of a fixed-length buffer. When this data is written past the buffer, it overwrites adjacent memory, corrupting or overwriting the valid data stored in that memory. This corruption can allow the hacker to take control of the affected system or application, allowing them to execute malicious code or steal sensitive data.
