Abstract:
A method or apparatus detects a memory corruption of at least one portion of memory during run-time and corrects the memory corruption of the at least one portion of memory by replacing the at least one portion of memory with a backup of the at least one portion of memory. In this way, memory corruption can be corrected in a timely fashion while minimizing security risks.
