The extra may then overwrite nearby data causing unexpected behaviour, which may include an attacker being able to take over control of the program. Buffer overflows can be avoided by strict adherence to a cardinal rule of secure coding: thoroughly validate all input from potentially untrusted s...")

Sometimes, due to a bug, it may fail to return it to the pool when it's finished with it. This is known as a memory leak, and can result in the memory pool becoming depleted to the extent that the software can no longer operate. The only solution is to close and relaunch it.")

Keeping track of the provenance and trustworthiness of all of these can be an extremely difficult problem. Any of them might be compromised in a "supply chain" attack to compromise the integrity of a finished product. A classic example was the introduction of explosives into pagers and walkie-talkies suppli...")

In this way, for example, the attacker may hope to gain access to a well defended defence contractor though one of its less secure suppliers.")
