strcpy function vulnerability

The strcpy function does not check buffer lengths and may overwrite memory zone contiguous to the intended destination. The order of allocation is dependent on the platform (Winows).

  
#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    
    char a[8];
    char b[8];

    // function causes buffer overflow
    strcpy(b, "01234567");

    // buffer overflow again
    strcpy(a, "89abcdef");

    printf("\nb = %s\n", b);
    
    return 0;
}
