Cloud bursting can alleviate which of the following attacks?

A buffer overflow is a memory corruption vulnerability in application code caused by writing past allocated buffer boundaries, which requires patching or secure coding practices, not infrastructure scaling.

A brute force attack repeatedly attempts credential combinations and is mitigated by account lockout policies, rate limiting on authentication endpoints, or MFA - none of which involve scaling compute capacity.

XSS is a client-side injection vulnerability in web application code that requires input sanitization and output encoding fixes, not additional cloud capacity.

A DDoS attack overwhelms a target by flooding it with traffic from many distributed sources, exhausting bandwidth or compute resources. Cloud bursting automatically provisions additional capacity in a public cloud to absorb the incoming flood, maintaining service availability without the on-premises infrastructure being saturated.
