The compact reservation in libpas is accessed through compact pointers. Due to how the bounds of the range are computed (offset by pas_compact_heap_reservation_guard_size) the first byte of compact memory is actually accessed via compact-pointer index 2. libpas will never give out indices 0 or 1. However, if someone does manage to zero out a compact pointer, then the resulting index points to the memory immediately-before the compact reservation. Unchecked accesses, such as through pas_segregated_directory_data_ptr_load_non_null, will consequently corrupt that memory, which very well may not even be owned by libpas, if it’s mapped. This is undesirable and should be fixed as a hardening measure. Adding a guard page will achieve this and convert any issues this may have been causing into crashes that we can detect.</thetext>
