  • The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it can read from or write to a memory location that is outside of the intended boundary of the buffer.
    Assigned by: nvd@nist.gov (Primary)
  • The product performs a calculation that can produce an integer overflow or wraparound, when the logic assumes that the resulting value will always be larger than the original value. This can introduce other weaknesses when the calculation is used for resource management or execution control.
