Are you referring to how an unchecked buffer can be exploited by a Buffer Overflow hack?

If so, this is a nicely worded article on the subject: http://noframes.linuxjournal.com/lj-issues/issue61/2902.html

If not, excuse me just passing through http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif

Again, if you're looking for information into buffer overflows, try http://phrack.infonexus.com/search.phtml?view&article=p49-14 . That's the classic article by phrack about buffer overflows.
