The correct answer is 'Buffer overflow'. In computer security and programming, a buffer overflow, or buffer overrun, is an anomaly where a program, while writing data to a buffer, overruns the buffer's boundary and overwrites adjacent memory locations. It is a common software coding mistake that occurs when more data is put into a || fixed-length || buffer than the buffer can handle. EDIT# Programmer generated flaws are backdoors or maintenance hooks not buffer overflows. Buffer overs flows are related to network availability. *** Isn't backdoors and maintenance hooks the same thing?*** Edit: Updated the idiotic question.
