Heap-based Buffer Overflow

A heap overflow condition is a buffer overflow, where the buffer that can be overwritten is allocated in the heap portion of memory, generally meaning that the buffer was allocated using a routine such as malloc().

Out-of-bounds Write

The product writes data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer.
