How format string attacks can be prevented?
Preventing format string attacks
If possible, make the format string a constant. If the above isn't possible, then always specify a format string as part of the program rather than as an input. You can fix most format string vulnerabilities by simply specifying %s as the format string.
What is format string attack in cyber security?
A format string vulnerability is a bug where user input is passed as the format argument to printf , scanf , or another function in that family. The format argument has many different specifies which could allow an attacker to leak data if they control the format argument to printf .
What causes format string attack?
The attack could be executed when the application doesn't properly validate the submitted input. In this case, if a Format String parameter, like %x, is inserted into the posted data, the string is parsed by the Format Function, and the conversion specified in the parameters is executed.
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.
