A systems security expert has been hired to evaluate a companys networking infrastructure and overall security effectiveness. One area that quickly revealed itself was the presence of interrupted processing. Why is this a security issue?
A.
Interrupted processing can allow for buffer overflows, because bounds checking cannot be properly carried out.
B.
Breaches are possible allowing previous processes to gain a higher access level.
C.
Race conditions are allowed to take place, which can allow a process to access an object before it is properly authenticated.
D.
Data integrity can be compromised.
Explanation:
Interrupted processes can create security breaches when the current
process is given a clearance level of the previous process.
Can I know what does ‘Interrupted processes’ means?
