This repository demonstrates a potential buffer overflow vulnerability in assembly code and shows how to mitigate it using bounds checking. The bug.asm file contains the vulnerable code, while bugSolution.asm presents a corrected version. The vulnerability arises from the lack of bounds checking before accessing memory, making the program susceptible to exploitation if the value of ecx is maliciously manipulated. The solution adds bounds checking to ensure that memory access remains within the allocated region.
