The 'Drunk LLM' Methodology: AI-Augmented Kernel Fuzzing
Analysis of frontier model implications, AI safety protocols, and critical infrastructure protection.
New research into 'Getting LLMs Drunk'—a technique of using high-temperature, non-deterministic sampling to explore edge cases in code—has led to the discovery of multiple Out-of-Bounds (OOB) write vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel (CVE-2026-31432, CVE-2026-31433). This highlights a shift where AI is used not just to write code, but to find the 'impossible' bugs that traditional fuzzers miss. The use of LLMs as 'Security Researchers' is accelerating the vulnerability discovery cycle, potentially outpacing the ability of human maintainers to patch.
