Memory corruption occurs when data in memory is unintentionally modified, leading to unpredictable behavior and often fatal errors. This can happen due to buffer overflows, incorrect pointer arithmetic, or using memory after it has been freed. UE4's memory management system can be sensitive to corruption, triggering a fatal error to prevent further damage.
