Good stuff, would love to see MTE support! However, do keep in mind that MTE is currently available only for a very small fraction of Android smartphone users so currently its usefulness has to be weighed against its implementation costs.
If you are using it with GrapheneOS you will have MTE for the app enabled by default and it works fine (Pixel 8 required).
Is there an existing request for this?
Feature description
As the title says. MTE aims to mitigate memory-related vulnerabilities. It is a very useful feature which greatly improves security.
