Any write to memory can go wrong, OS , MySQL , Storage engines, client library and so on. Innodb has some advanced mechanism for ACID compliance like the double write buffer but these are mostly to assure durability. Memory failure although not so frequent can still, in my opinion, corrupt anything included Innodb buffers. I would like the opinion of some other Innodb gurus. Happy new year.
