Memory Safety Vulnerabilities

Memory Safety Vulnerabilities is a category of software security flaws characterized by improper management or access of memory resources, such as buffer overflows, use-after-free, or double-free errors, that enable unauthorized data access, corruption, or arbitrary code execution due to violations of memory access rules enforced by safe programming practices or run-time protections.
