Memory safety is the defense against flaws and vulnerabilities related to memory access. Examples of this include dangling pointers and buffer overflows. Javas runtime fault detection checks make it a memory safe language. Nonetheless, unconstrained pointer arithmetic with direct memory addresses and without bounds checking is supported by both C and C++. According to a 2019 analysis by Microsoft security engineers, memory safety problems were the root cause of almost 70% of security vulnerab
