>Description:
when i try to compile and run this code, it runs without any errors.
i am trying to access memory that i haven't allocated.
>How-To-Repeat:
==========================
#include <stdio.h>
int main (int argc,
char* argv[])
{
char buffer[4020];
int i;
for (i=0; i<=4028; i++)
buffer[i] = 'A';
return 0;
}
=======================
compiling and running this piece of code doesn;t seem to give me an
expected segmentation fault
>Fix:
i don't know.
