Stack-allocated Variables Copied to the Heap
The vulnerability occurs when stack-allocated variables are copied to the heap. This can lead to type confusion, as the two variables share the same buffer. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by converting the type of one of the variables, which will then be reflected in the other variable.
Mitigation:
Ensure that variables escape the scope and are not allocated to the stack.
