Description
Comparing a call stack in system memory with a shadow call stack maintained by the processor to determine unauthorized shellcode activity.

Derived by composition, not from a source that names this pair. D3FEND publishes that Shadow Stack Comparisons counters T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution; SafeMode's curated mapping records EX-0009 as addressing that same adversary behaviour in the space domain. Shadow-stack comparison is a processor and toolchain feature, so it applies to flight software on hardware that supports it. Recorded at moderate confidence because the supporting chain is two documented edges rather than one source attesting the pair directly.
