Abstract
Systems, methods, apparatus and software can be implemented to detect possible instances of memory corruption. By analyzing memory blocks stored in a memory, provided in a snapshot file, or provided in a core dump, implicit and/or explicit contingency chains can be obtained. Analysis of these contingency chains identifies potential memory corruption sites, and subsequent verification provides greater confidence in the identification.
