Abstract
A disclosed method may include (1) identifying a memory buffer that is allocated to a packet on a computing device, (2) identifying one or more characteristics of the memory buffer allocated to the packet on the computing device, (3) determining, based at least in part on the characteristics of the memory buffer, that the memory buffer allocated to the packet has leaked, and then in response to determining that the memory buffer has leaked, (4) performing at least one action to remedy the leak of the memory buffer. Various other apparatuses, systems, and methods are also disclosed.
