What if the probability of generating an image that is much larger than what would fit in memory would be greater than generating a normal-sized picture? Would the fuzzer be able to produce something in practice?


It's very common when fuzzing. That's why you normally want to place memory limits on the target process, to avoid bringing the system down. AFL does that automatically, most other fuzzers have a config option.


That completely depends on where you pull the arbitrary lines for the made-up probabilities.
