#include  #include  int main(void) { char buff[15]; int pass = 0; printf(" Enter the password : "); gets(buff); if(strcmp(buff, "thegeekstuff")) { printf (" Wrong Password "); } else { printf (" Correct Password "); pass = 1; } if(pass) { /* Now Give root or admin rights to user*/ printf (" Root privileges given to the user "); } return 0; } 

What do I need to change to make this code not prone to a buffer overflow?

Please use fget() and strncmp() for the fixed code
