Are Hardened Malloc errors normal?

angela

I have been using an App at times and suddenly it crashes mid-use with a hardened malloc error code.

I was receiving a lot of packets and figured this either means the program is buggy or malicious packets were being sent to me and the hardened malloc decided to crash rather than risk whatever malevolent sh*t was going on.

I usually ignore these things. I was also routing my packets in a really strange way, not for any reason. It attracts more attention, adds latency, and technically allows some packets to be monitored that wouldn't be. But I'm not a hacker or developer or doing anything bad so who cares?

Should I be concerned about an app having multiple hardened malloc crashes?

angela App has a memory corruption bug which is a rather dangerous bug as it can lead to an exploit. Which app is it? If possible, open an issue in their Github or send them a support email with the logs and an explanation that you are using GrapheneOS so that they can fix it.
