Use GWP-ASan to detect exploits in production environments

Trail of Bits··

Memory safety bugs like use-after-free and buffer overflows remain among the most exploited vulnerability classes in production software. While AddressSanitizer (ASan) excels at catching these bugs during development, its performance overhead (2 to 4 times) and security concerns make it unsuitable for production. What if you could detect many of the same critical bugs in live systems with virtually no performance impact? GWP-ASan (GWP-ASan Will Provide Allocation SANity) addresses this gap by us...
