Select the best answer to describe a Buffer Overflow attack which allows access to a remote system.
The attacker overwhelms a system or application, leading it to crash, and then redirects the memory address to read from a location holding the payload
The attacker attempts to pass information to a back-end database from where it can compromise the database information
The attacker attempts to run a payload using programming commonly found on web servers
The attacker overwhelms a system or application, causing it to crash and bring the server down to cause system failure
Sending too much data to an input function and then overflowing a buffer in the function is the purpose of a buffer overflow. When the buffer overflows, some data trickles to the adjacent memory location, overwriting the instruction pointer. --- "memory address" is unclear, I would recommend to rephrase to "redirect program execution to a memory address holding the payload" or similar
