The heap quarantine REDUCE operation happens during kernel memory allocation, if the quarantine size limit is exceeded. The kernel objects released … Webbslab_freelist_random. The determinism (i.e., the deterministic order in allocated chunks) helps (a bit) an attacker in controlling the overflowing target. The simple way to disturb the determinism is to randomize its allocation order; it can be done by randomizing the free …
