ASLR

Also: address space layout randomization

Address space layout randomisation: the operating system places a program's regions at different addresses on each run.

In more detail

Because an attacker cannot know where code and data sit, exploiting a memory bug reliably becomes harder. ASLR does not remove the bug; leaks of addresses and other weaknesses can undo it.
