Careless use of buffers without bounds checking - Recommendations.
•Before you copy to,
format, or send input to a buffer make

be thrown at it.
•Testing should catch most of this kind of buffer overflows. If there is a buffer overflow, the software should crash or data should get corrupted if a very long string is given for input.
