Memory Corruption Detection

Memory Corruption Detection is a software analysis technique that identifies unintended alterations in a program's memory state caused by vulnerabilities such as buffer overflows, use-after-free, or heap corruption, distinguishing it from general error detection by specifically targeting unsafe memory access patterns that compromise program integrity and security.
