As related to buffer overflows, what is the purpose of the Instruction Pointer?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: AC

The Instruction Pointer tells the CPU where in memory to find the next instruction for the running program. This is crucial for the process of executing a program as it ensures that the CPU knows the exact location in memory from which to fetch the next instruction to execute. This is directly related to buffer overflows, which can manipulate the Instruction Pointer to divert the execution flow.
