<overview>
<p>You must ensure that you do not exceed the size of an allocation during write and read operations.
If an operation attempts to write to or access an element that is outside the range of the allocation then this results in a buffer overflow.
Buffer overflows can lead to anything from a segmentation fault to a security vulnerability.
</p>
</overview>
<recommendation>
<p>
Check the offsets and sizes used in the highlighted operations to ensure that a buffer overflow will not occur.
