Tip: Do you use gdal in an alpine container? LD_PRELOAD mimalloc or tcmalloc for a massive performance improvement. An identical multithreaded gdaladdo job went from ~50mins to ~8mins. ⚡ #malloc #alpine #musl #docker

In the past weeks, the pwn.college Dynamic Allocator Misuse module taught me many practical concepts I have long known from theory: Use-after-free, double-free, tcache internals, LIFO reuse, tcache poisoning, arbitrary read, fake chunks, sa
