Abstract
Systems and methods for memory corruption detection. An example processing system comprises a processing core including a register to store a base address of a memory corruption detection (MCD) table. The processing core is configured to validate a pointer referenced by a memory access instruction, by comparing a first value derived from a first portion of the pointer to a second value stored in the MCD table at an offset referenced by a second portion of the pointer.
