Mark Brand (Google Project Zero) details how to enable ARM Memory Tagging Extension (MTE) in synchronous mode on Pixel 8/8 Pro using adb and system properties, notes default exclusions (system_server, NFC, SE, Bluetooth), and demonstrates effective detection of a use-after-free in a JNI test app via SEGV_MTESERR; he also covers experimental Chrome MTE support and caveats, concluding that handset-wide MTE materially improves diagnostic capability and overall security posture despite not being a silver bullet.
