Buffer controls are common problems with software. A buffer overflow occurs when a program or process tries to store more data in a buffer or temporary data storage area than it is intended to hold. Which of the following countermeasures is LEAST likely to eliminate buffer control attacks?
Apply patches for operating systems and applications
Programmers implementing parameter checks and enforcing data rules
Follow SDLC process which includes code review and testing
Perform routine backup
The correct answer is performing routine backups. Performing a routine backup is always advised but not an activity which benefits buffer control problems. The activities which benefit buffer control problems include: practicing good SDLC processes which include code inspection and walkthrough, programmers implementing parameter checks and enforcing data rules, and applying patches for operating systems and applications.
