CWE-119: Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer

The software performs operations on a memory buffer, but it can read from or write to a memory location that is outside of the intended boundary of the buffer.
Direct memory addresses are permitted by some programming languages, which do not always guarantee that they are valid for the memory buffer being accessed. This may result in read or write operations being made on memory regions connected to internal programme data, other variables, or data structures. As a result, a hacker might be able to run arbitrary code, change the intended control flow, view private data, or bring down the system.
