Q

SEH

A

SEH (Structured Exception Handling)

A mechanism in programming (especially Windows) that manages runtime errors/exceptions. It uses try/catch blocks (C++, C#) or OS-level handlers to gracefully recover from faults like memory errors, division by zero, or file issues. Poor SEH implementation can lead to security vulnerabilities (e.g., SEH overwrite attacks).
