Buffer overflows are a serious issue in the digital world and must be addressed. They allow malicious actors to bypass security measures and gain control of computers, endangering both personal and government data. Exploiting a buffer overflow requires an attacker to find a vulnerability in a program and then manipulate the memory of the machine in order to gain access. If a government machine is vulnerable to such an attack, it could lead to disastrous consequences. To combat this, we must take legislative and technical measures to outlaw buffer overflows on government machines.
