Google released an emergency update on April 1 2026 fixing a critical Use‑After‑Free vulnerability (CVE‑2026‑5281) in Chrome’s WebGPU Dawn component, which is already exploited in the wild; the article details the flaw’s mechanics, attack flow, affected versions, exploitation challenges, and mitigation recommendations.
This article reviews five high‑severity Android native vulnerabilities, detailing how missing length checks, unsigned integer wrap‑around, thread‑lifecycle misuse, unlocked vectors, and out‑of‑scope pointers lead to heap overflows or use‑after‑free bugs, and presents the remediation steps recommended by Google.
This article explains KASAN (Kernel Address Sanitizer), its integration in the Linux kernel, the shadow‑memory technique it uses, and demonstrates how it catches out‑of‑bounds accesses, use‑after‑free and double‑free bugs with detailed log analysis and GDB debugging steps.
This article explains how GWP‑ASan, a low‑overhead sampling memory‑sanitizer developed by Google, can be integrated on Windows to detect heap errors such as use‑after‑free, buffer‑underflow, buffer‑overflow and double‑free, describes its monitoring principles, hook implementation, crash‑report augmentation, and presents real‑world case studies and remediation strategies.
This article explains the inner workings of KernelAddressSanitizer (KASAN) in the Linux kernel, covering how to enable it, the shadow‑memory mechanism, redzone handling for heap, global and stack allocations, and how to interpret the detailed KASAN bug reports generated at runtime.
This article explains how attackers gain kernel-level privileges by exploiting vulnerabilities such as null-pointer dereferences, use-after-free, and integer overflow bugs, outlines the four legitimate ways programs enter kernel mode, and reviews real-world CVE cases and modern mitigation techniques.
This guide explains how to use GCC's built‑in AddressSanitizer to detect memory leaks, heap/stack/global buffer overflows, use‑after‑free, and initialization‑order bugs, providing sample code, compilation flags, and example outputs for each error type.
