adding 8 byte canaries to the end of memory allocations. The primary purpose adding 8 byte canaries to the end of memory allocations. The primary purpose

absorbing them. The first byte of the canary is always zero, containing absorbing them. The first byte of the canary is always zero, containing
overflows caused by a missing C string NUL terminator. The other 7 bytes are overflows caused by a missing C string NULL terminator. The other 7 bytes are
a per-slab random value. On free, integrity of the canary is checked to a per-slab random value. On free, integrity of the canary is checked to
