Is this secure? That is, can you receive messages from an untrusted process without worrying that it will somehow crash or corrupt your process?

There are two processes mmap'ing the same memory, and operating on it with a mutex. It seems like the one side has to perform elaborate checks to make sure the other side is obeying the protocol. Or am I mistaken?
