Juanita is responsible for security testing applications in her company. She has found that a web application, under certain conditions, can generate a memory leak. Which of the following types of attack would this leave the application vulnerable to?

A denial-of-service (DoS) attack may target a memory leak. If an attacker can induce the web application to generate the memory leak, then eventually the web application will consume all memory on the webserver and the webserver will crash. Backdoors are not caused by memory leaks. SQL injection places malformed SQL into text boxes. A buffer overflow attempts to put more data in a variable than it can hold.
