Examine the line management routines in this dir. It handles any number of lines (or queues), and returns a pointer to the line that is created. The header file (queueHeader.h) and the line manager (queueManager.c) are below.

A. Write a main driver, lineMain.c and exercise these functions to get a feel for it.

B. Analyze the code given and explain clearly any four vulnerabilities, each description of about 5 or 6 sentences. Each vulnerability has to be a very specific problem, not something general like buffer overflow etc.

C. For any ONE vulnerability, write an exploit, mainExploit.c; exploit code should be readable and well-documented, else you get 0 (do NOT crash program).

D. For any ONE vulnerability, describe how you may fix it; however, NO need to provide the code for actual fix.
