Examine the provided binary executable$*$ and practice using it$.$ The $C$ source code for this binary is provided

below and on Moodle. Run it to test its operation. The program accepts a password input from the user.

The password is checked and if correct executes one set of code with potentially higher privilege, otherwise

executes another set of code.

Identify and briefly discuss as many software vulnerabilities as you can. Explain how each identified

vulnerability can be exploited. Name and briefly describe possible protections or mitigations against these

exploits. Use diagrams where necessary to help explain the vulnerability, exploit and exploit path$($s$),$ and

protections and mitigations against an exploit.

Use the List of Issues to Consider, below, to help you.
