I am researching web application security and I wonder if anyone knows a good example of a buffer overflow attack on a company web site that is either well documented or which they could expalin.<br />
<br />
All i can get at the moment is definitions and decriptions, I really need an example of an attack that has occured. It has to be one that targeted a web applcation.<br />
<br />
thank you

Buffer overflows

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.
