A Citrix Engineer observes that the servers hosting a critical application are crashing on a regular basis.
Which protection could the engineer implement on a Citrix Web App Firewall in front of the application?

Buffer Overflow Check can help protect the servers hosting the critical application. Buffer overflow occurs when the input data exceeds the allocated buffer size, which can lead to crashes or unauthorized code execution. Implementing a buffer overflow check ensures that input data is within expected limits, preventing malicious attempts to exploit this vulnerability and thus increasing the application's stability.
B. Buffer Overflow Check This feature checks the length of the input provided to the application against what the application expects to receive. If the input exceeds the expected length, the firewall can block the request, thereby preventing a buffer overflow condition on the server.
