My understanding though is that the ASAN would have done its job, had the test checked for the results. Quoting from the post: > This fuzzer might have produced a SECKEYPublicKey that could have reached the vulnerable code, but as the re

Thanks. I thought so too, I just wanted to have some confirmation. It's not that they don't find issues, but it's more of a coverage issue then? (In which case I really understand, someone said it's 25 million lines of c

Yes, I know. My question was more if or why a sanitizer doesn't help.

by mk89 4y ago
Do you know why/if a sanitizer is not enough to catch these bugs at runtime (and during their automated tests)?

Search engines have overall become terrible due to ads. Amazon is finally a search engine with the extra step of selling a material good. I have to admit that it has become difficult also for me to find a simple item without too much bias o

I think SWIG had a different purpose. The author here generates and embeds WebAssembly in Go, to avoid building the same lib for multiple platforms (+ the bindings to call the low level c code). Maybe the tool wasn't good enough? Right

Thanks a lot for your answer! EDIT: Just to know: clang sanitizers or anything else?

Yeah, I do understand the main principle behind it, and I think an address sanitizer helps here - I did some tests and the ASAN coming with Clang 14.0.0 catches the bug (at runtime, of course). It's a different approach, and definitely

The first case is at least documented that it's the programmer's responsibility that the view should not outlive the object pointed to. Finally, the address sanitizer helps you with that, however I wonder how many actually do use

I have been a foreigner for a while now, so it would be against my own interests to wish for such things. In some EU countries you have a termination period of 2 weeks during probation. Maybe that's a compromise? It's not the best

They are actually very clever about it. There is literally 0 alternative in the Rust world: this is what the "gpl competitive advantage" is about.

I don't understand. That's unfortunately how it is, sadly enough. Should they have fired another person instead just because of location? I believe they should have not given the GO at all to the hiring manager, but hey... these C

Voting has absolutely nothing to do with consulates or embassies. If there is one, maybe they do simplify voting, but the right to vote should go beyond the presence of any office. This is what the US government allows to do: no matter wher

I believe it might. Not a C++ expert, but I am using Clion with lots of clang-tidy features and a lot of compiler warnings, and I believe that the code looks more modern. If you use a "new" you'll get right away warnings. Of

You can't. You live with that. Everyone around us does it. Bad politicians, bad owners, bad managers, bad leaders, etc. A bad director in your company temporarily affects you, but finally is just a job. In general, I agree 100% with yo

The language is often impersonal, there is absolutely no humanity in it: you're terminating "resources" as if they were like disposable items you can get rid of at any moment. Layoffs don't have to be like that. Business

you're right, Scala has also type classes, though. Generics, traits, variance, etc., are all quite sophisticated in Scala. I wouldn't say it's taken from Rust. The idea had been there for a while.

Yes and the best part is that companies instead of migrating from Java to something lighter are simply trying new things like GraalVM which makes native executables. So your developers can keep on writing crappy and heavy spring boot applic
