What is a format string vulnerability?
What is a Format String Vulnerability? Often found in C language programs, it refers to a bug found in the printf() function. It is widely used to transport data, which could be ASCII text strings, to the standard output. When used properly, text strings can lead to effective and automated conversion types.- While buffer overflow attacks exist due to failure to perform stable bounds checks, format string attacks exist when a developer fails to perform reliable input validation checks.
