MTE - The promising path forward for memory safety

Google outlines growing ecosystem support for ARM’s Memory Tagging Extension (MTE) on Android 14, noting availability on devices with MediaTek Dimensity 9300 and Tensor G3 where developers can toggle the feature. MTE provides hardware-assisted detection and mitigation of memory safety issues (e.g., buffer overflows, use-after-free) with minimal developer overhead, improving application security, reliability, and testing efficiency across the software lifecycle.
