How to Fix CWE-787: Out-of-bounds Write

Verified by Precogs Threat Research

The application writes data past the boundaries of allocated memory buffers.

⚠️ Impact if Unpatched

Code execution, denial of service, memory corruption, privilege escalation.

Step-by-Step Remediation

  1. Use memory-safe languages (Rust, Go, Java) where possible
  2. Enable compiler protections: ASLR, DEP, Stack Canaries, CFI
  3. Use bounds-checking APIs (strncpy, snprintf instead of strcpy, sprintf)
  4. Implement fuzz testing with AddressSanitizer (ASan)
  5. Conduct regular binary analysis with tools like Precogs Binary SAST
