Vulnerabilities in Von Neumann Architecture
The system architect of the von Neumann is the way that it can allow direct memory access to the low level languages like C and C++.
If the program goes and tries to access the memory out of bound by allocating code injection to the system, it allows the system to access the memory out of the stack which causes buffer overflow and the attacker can access the other memory from the allocated stack. This way an attacker can get access to the system. Therefore von Neumann architecture is vulnerable to code injection, the effect of the buffer overflow.
Understanding Threats and Attacks
Threats
- It is a potential security violation that might exploit vulnerability of the system or assets.
- Threats can be accidental,
