microcontrollers, have a single-instruction subroutine call that uses a dedicated hardware stack to store return addresses—such hardware supports only...

In software, a stack overflow occurs if the call stack pointer exceeds the stack bound. The call stack may consist of a limited amount of address space...

memory address on the program's call stack outside of the intended data structure, which is usually a fixed-length buffer. Stack buffer overflow bugs are caused...

to optimize in implementations. Tail calls can be implemented without adding a new stack frame to the call stack. Most of the frame of the current procedure...

separate stack that "shadows" the program call stack. In the function prologue, a function stores its return address to both the call stack and the shadow...

In computing, a stack trace (also called stack backtrace or stack traceback) is a report of the active stack frames at a certain point in time during the...

result, so a rich set of operations can be computed. In stack machine code (sometimes called p-code), instructions will frequently have only an opcode...

and code signing. In this technique, an attacker gains control of the call stack to hijack program control flow and then executes carefully chosen machine...

In software, a stack buffer overflow or stack buffer overrun occurs when a program writes to a memory address on the program's call stack outside of the...

from within itself may cause the call stack to have a size equal to the sum of the input sizes of all involved calls. It follows that, for problems that...

systems as well as Microsoft Windows implement a function called alloca for dynamically allocating stack memory in a way similar to the heap-based malloc. A...

A stack register is a computer central processor register whose purpose is to keep track of a call stack. On an accumulator-based architecture machine...

programming (ROP) technique: an attacker controlling the call stack, for example through a stack buffer overflow, is able to influence the control flow...

use the %s and %x format tokens, among others, to print data from the call stack or possibly other locations in memory. One may also write arbitrary data...

Points to the top of the call stack. It is primarily used to access function parameters and local variables within the call stack. SI (Source Index): Used...
