Memory corruption vulnerabilities are a common problem in software implemented in C/C++. Attackers can exploit these vulnerabilities to steal sensitive data and to seize or disrupt the system on which the software is executed. Memory safety techniques can, in principle, eliminate these vulnerabilities [Nagarakatte et al. 2009, Nagarakatte et al. 2010] but are prohibitively expensive in terms of runtime overhead [Szekeres et al. 2013].
