Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Taints

👉 In the context of computer science, "taint" refers to a specific type of data corruption that occurs when a program encounters a memory location with a low memory access frequency. This can happen if an attacker has successfully manipulated the memory locations in the program, making them accessible to other malicious code through certain vulnerabilities. Tainting typically involves using techniques such as buffer overflows or buffer underflows to manipulate memory accesses and cause data corruption.
