The majority of software vulnerabilities result from a few known kinds of coding defects, such as
(choose all that apply):
A.
buffer overflows
B.
format string vulnerabilities
C.
integer overflow
D.
code injection
E.
command injection
F.
None of the choices.
Explanation:
The majority of software vulnerabilities result from a few known kinds of coding defects. Common
software defects include buffer overflows, format string vulnerabilities, integer overflow, and
code/command injection. Some common languages such as C and C++ are vulnerable to all of these
defects. Languages such as Java are immune to some of these defects but are still prone to code/
command injection and other software defects which lead to software vulnerabilities.
