Detects memory safety bugs and vulnerabilities in C and C++ programs through runtime instrumentation guidance.
The Address Sanitizer (ASan) skill empowers Claude to identify and resolve critical memory errors including use-after-free, buffer overflows, and memory leaks in C and C++ codebases. Developed by security experts at Trail of Bits, this skill provides domain-specific patterns and best practices for configuring ASan compiler flags and interpreting complex runtime error reports. It is an essential tool for developers and security auditors looking to harden low-level applications against memory corruption vulnerabilities.
