In modern operating systems, whether they are 32-bit or 64-bit based, operating system allocates an isolated virtual memory (in which its pages are mapped to the physical memory pages) for each application to secure the operating system's and the other applications' data.
Usual applications are supposed to have an ability to access only their own virtual memory. They have the ability to read, write, or execute instructions in their virtual memory pages. Each virtual memory page has a set of permissions assigned to it that represent the type of operations that the application is allowed to execute on this page. These permissions are read, write, and execute. Additionally, multiple permissions can be assigned to each memory page.
For an application to attempt to access any value stored in memory, it needs a virtual address, which is basically the address of where this value is stored in memory.
Despite knowing the virtual address, access can be hindered by another...
