Heap
The heap is maintained OS for handling memory allocation (e.g. new, delete, malloc, ...).

Heap Corruption
Heap corruption occurs when the heap's bookkeeping data--such as which parts of memory are allocated and which are free for new allocations--are corrupted.

Causes of Heap Corruption
This usually occurs from incorrect use of memory allocation functions.

Effects of Heap Corruption
After heap corruption, undefined behaviour occurs; the program may appear to work correctly to start with, but might fail on the next run, or when recompiled, or at any other time.

Heap corruption means some of the calls in an application override heap data and if other calls tries to retrieve these data, they receive bad data.

Threads in the same process share same address space and thus can have access to common data
