Abstract
The present disclosure relates to executing software within an execution safety container. An example method generally includes detecting that a memory address referenced by a stack pointer has changed from a first memory address to a second memory address. An execution safety container compares the referenced memory address to a memory address range associated with an application, and upon determining that the referenced memory address is not within the memory address range associated with the application, takes one or more actions to avoid occurrences of unhandled exceptions caused by the referenced memory address being outside of a memory address range associated with an application.
