Buffer Overflows
Buffer OverflowsSumit Kumar Buffer overflows occur when more data is written to a buffer than it was designed to hold, corrupting the call stack. This can allow arbitrary code execution or modification of return addresses. Developers should use safe string functions, validate user input, grant least privileges, and use compiler tools to help prevent buffer overflows. Reporting vulnerabilities and keeping up to date on security bulletins is also important.
Lecture #15: Buffer Overflow Attack (Non Malicious Attack)
Lecture #15: Buffer Overflow Attack (Non Malicious Attack)Dr. Ramchandra Mangrulkar The document discusses buffer overflow attacks, which occur when a program writes more data to a buffer than it is allocated to hold. This can overwrite other memory locations and potentially allow attackers to execute malicious code. The lecture covers how buffer overflows work, examples of overflow errors, programming languages that are more vulnerable, and techniques for preventing overflows like address space randomization and data execution prevention.
BufferOverflow - Offensive point of View

Integration of Utility Data into 3D BIM Models Using a 3D Solids Modeling Wor...
Integration of Utility Data into 3D BIM Models Using a 3D Solids Modeling Wor...Safe Software Jacobs has developed a 3D utility solids modelling workflow to improve the integration of utility data into 3D Building Information Modeling (BIM) environments. This workflow, a collaborative effort between the New Zealand Geospatial Team and the Australian Data Capture Team, employs FME to convert 2D utility data into detailed 3D representations, supporting enhanced spatial analysis and clash detection.
To enable the automation of this process, Jacobs has also developed a survey data standard that standardizes the capture of existing utilities. This standard ensures consistency in data collection, forming the foundation for the subsequent automated validation and modelling steps. The workflow begins with the acquisition of utility survey data, including attributes such as location, depth, diameter, and material of utility assets like pipes and manholes. This data is validated through a custom-built tool that ensures completeness and logical consistency, including checks for proper connectivity between network components. Following validation, the data is processed using an automated modelling tool to generate 3D solids from 2D geometric representations. These solids are then integrated into BIM models to facilitate compatibility with 3D workflows and enable detailed spatial analyses.
The workflow contributes to improved spatial understanding by visualizing the relationships between utilities and other infrastructure elements. The automation of validation and modeling processes ensures consistent and accurate outputs, minimizing errors and increasing workflow efficiency.
This methodology highlights the application of FME in addressing challenges associated with geospatial data transformation and demonstrates its utility in enhancing data integration within BIM frameworks. By enabling accurate 3D representation of utility networks, the workflow supports improved design collaboration and decision-making in complex infrastructure projects

Buffer overflow explained
- 2. What is buffer overflow? How a buffer overflow happens How to avoid overrun?
- 3. What is buffer overflow? • Buffer overflow are responsible for many vulnerabilities in operating system as well as application programs. • It’s a quiet technical freaky , it includes program source code , assembler listing , and debugging usage , which almost scares away lot of people without solid programming knowledge.
- 4. Cause : Buffer overflow attack have been there for a long time. It still exists partly because of the carelessness of the developer in the code. Prevention : Avoid writing bad codes
- 5. How a buffer overflow happens ? • The ultimate purpose of any program that runs on a computer is to process data of some kind. • Most don’t operate on fixed data, but on data that is ultimately provided by user, possibly pre-processed in some fashion. • The program needs to store data some where in computer’s memory, and this is point where problem starts • Buffer overflows are a common vulnerability on all platforms, but are by far the most commonly exploited bug on the linux/unix Operating systems. • Commonly buffer overflows are exploited to change the flow in a programs execution, so that it points to a different memory address or overwrites crucial memory segments.
- 6. EX : #include #include int main(int argc, char **argv) { char buff[512]; if(argc < 2) { printf('Usage: %s n', argv[0]); exit(0); } strcpy(buff, argv[1]); printf('Your name: %sn', buff); return 0; }
- 7. lets try by giving this program a test: Normal Execution : Demo@root:~/tut > gcc vuln1.c -o vuln1 Demo@root:~/tut > ./vuln1 Usage: ./vuln1 Demo@root:~/tut > ./vuln1 mercy Your name: Fr3@k Demo@root:~/tut > Demo@root:~/tut > ./vuln1 `perl -e'print 'A' x 516' ` Your name: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Segmentation fault (core dumped) As we can see, this program is fully functional, and does what it is required to do. But lets see what happens when we fill buff (argv[1]) with more than 512 chars:
- 9. • The program crashed due to a segmentation fault - we filled the buffer with more data than it was defined to hold, ending in an illegal address violation. • (Note: if you did not get a core dump it is most likely because you have not set a limit, at the command prompt type: ulimit -c unlimited: if this fails still, make sure you have write access in the executing directory, and make sure that the file is not suid, you will not get core dumps on suid files.)
- 10. How to avoid overrun?
- 11. Use of safe libraries • The problem of buffer overflows is common in the C and C++ languages because they expose low level representational details of buffers as containers for data types. Buffer overflows must thus be avoided by maintaining a high degree of correctness in code which performs buffer management. It has also long been recommended to avoid standard library functions which are not bounds checked, such as gets, scanf and strcpy. • Well-written and tested abstract data type libraries which centralize and automatically perform buffer management, including bounds checking, can reduce the occurrence and impact of buffer overflows.
- 12. Some Unix operating systems (e.g. OpenBSD, Mac OS X) ship with executable space protection (e.g. W^X). Some optional packages include: PaX Exec Shield Openwall Newer variants of Microsoft Windows also support executable space protection, called Data Execution Prevention. Proprietary add-ons include: – BufferShield – StackDefender
