Abstract：In recent years,cyber attacks and network security vulnerabilities have frequently occurred. The most destructive system attacks are basically buffer overflow vulnerability attacks,which is the most common type of network attack technology. Firstly,the paper describes the memory space distribution of the application written in C language. The basic principle of buffer overflows vulnerability attack,the category and prevention methods of buffer overflow attack are described by specific procedures and the current mainstream buffer overflow is expounded. The principle of attack defense software,the methods of defending against buffer overflow attacks,including static defense and dynamic defense are introduced,and common buffer overflow vulnerabilities and attack methods and defense methods are studied. The recommendations for how to prevent buffer overflow vulnerability attacks are analyzed and summarized.
