If your OS allows writes through stray pointers, you have bigger issues like code exec...

Also, ZFS only has it's claims to data integrity if you use ECC memory.

BTW, anything running on top of the machine is going to be vulnerable to your example, i.e. if you have a program that checksums something, and then writes it to disk, there is opportunity for corruption while it's reading the data to checksum it.
