Are read faults considered Buffer Overflows? I thought that was exclusively for writing, with other terms like Buffer overread for reading past the end of an array?

It is irrelevant to the point the article is making as a minor detail, just curious for my own knowledge.

I don't think read faults are buffer overflows, definitely different things.
