sources of bugs in C programs is the memory management system, based on malloc. malloc sets aside a block of memory for use in the code and returns a reference...

overflow technique overwrites dynamic memory allocation linkage (such as malloc metadata) and uses the resulting pointer exchange to overwrite a program...

Dynamic memory allocation is performed using pointers; the result of a malloc is usually cast to the data type of the data to be stored. Many data types...

allocation can, and has been achieved through the use of techniques such as malloc and C++'s operator new; although established and reliable implementations...

while another thread could malloc memory leading to missed allocations. The function mtrace installs handlers for malloc, realloc and free; the function...

These APIs include such foundational facilities as open, read, write, malloc, printf, getaddrinfo, dlopen, pthread_create, crypt, login, exit and more...

typically called from a higher-level memory management library function such as malloc. In the original Unix system, brk and sbrk were the only ways in which applications...

mimalloc (pronounced "me-malloc") is a free and open-source compact general-purpose memory allocator developed by Microsoft with focus on performance characteristics...

heap-based memory allocation (also known as dynamic memory allocation) e.g. C's malloc. Another feature is that memory on the stack is automatically, and very...

Another frequent source of dangling pointers is a jumbled combination of malloc() and free() library calls: a pointer becomes dangling when the block of...
