Where's that quote from?

That definition is too vague to be of any use. Even an int that's 
written with a value when the spec meant to write another value is 
erroneously written and would be, by your definition, memory corruption. 
  It is not.

I do, but since you mentioned a textbook case of memory corruption, I 
was curious which textbook that wold come from. That's why I asked for a 
_citation_. A vague useless ad-hoc definition is easy to put together.
