Technical Impact: Bypass Protection Mechanism
By reading out-of-bounds memory, an attacker might be able to get secret values, such as memory addresses, which can be bypass protection mechanisms such as ASLR in order to improve the reliability and likelihood of exploiting a separate weakness to achieve code execution instead of just denial of service.
+ Demonstrative Examples
In the following code, the method retrieves a value from an array at a specific array index location that is given as an input parameter to the method
