Sanitizing the Linux Kernel — On KASAN and other Dynamic Bug-finding Tools - Andrey Konovalov, xairy.io

The go-to tools for detecting bugs in the Linux kernel are the Sanitizers. Most notably — Kernel Address Sanitizer (KASAN). KASAN detects memory safety issues: out-of-bounds and use-after-free bugs in slab, page_alloc, vmalloc, stack, and global memory. The speaker will talk about KASAN's implementation and practical usage and will also briefly cover other Sanitizers.
