MetropleX [GrapheneOS] ⚡🟣 on Nostr: Exploit Protection Compatibility Mode is designed to allow apps that have memory ...
Exploit Protection Compatibility Mode is designed to allow apps that have memory related issues picked up by our hardening to run:
The exploit protection compatibility mode toggle will:
Switch from hardened_malloc to Android's standard allocator (Scudo
)
Reduce address space size from 48 bit to Android's standard 39 bit
Disable memory tagging, unless the app has opted-in to it (only on compatible devices)
Allow native debugging (ptrace) access
All of these changes apply only to the selected app and can be toggled separately.
