Common causes include: 1) Malformed input data being passed to a function that doesn't properly validate it. 2) Unchecked buffer sizes when constructing Reddit posts. 3) Using `strcpy` or `sprintf` without proper bounds checking. 4) Recursive functions that don't handle the return value correctly, leading to stack overflow.
