POOL_CORRUPTION_IN_FILE_AREA
The POOL_CORRUPTION_IN_FILE_AREA bug check has a value of 0x000000DE. This indicates that a driver has corrupted pool memory that is used for holding pages destined for disk.
POOL_CORRUPTION_IN_FILE_AREA Parameters
None
Cause
When the Memory Manager dereferenced the file, it discovered this corruption in pool memory.
Diagnostic focus
The corrupted pool holds pages queued for file-backed disk I/O, so focus on drivers touching those buffers before writeback completes. Pool tags, Driver Verifier, special pool, and the earliest corruption signature can identify a use-after-free or overwrite. Do not assume the file system visible on the stack originally damaged the memory.
