stack based...........

Answer 2

Answer:

Stack overflow attack - This is the most common type of buffer overflow attack and involves overflowing a buffer on the call stack*.

Heap overflow attack - This type of attack targets data in the open memory pool known as the heap.

For example, an attacker may introduce extra code, sending new instructions to the application to gain access to IT systems.

If attackers know the memory layout of a program, they can intentionally feed input that the buffer cannot store, and overwrite areas that hold executable code, replacing it with their own code.
