> NMT can detect malloc'd memory corruption using canary tests at header and footer of every memory region. This can only be done at free time of the memory where NNT checks the canaries and report error if they are not as expected.
> In this PR, the canary parts also are poisoned using ASAN API to get notified whenever a read/write op is done. on the canary parts. `_size` member of the malloc header is also poisoned, since it is used for finding the footer address.
