Sure it is possible, but I don't see any evidence of kasan bug here.

If they were executed, then yes. But I think there was jump from somewhere
to the instructions below those two.

kasan insert something like following before any memory access:

s8 *shadow_addr = (add >> 3) + shadow_offset;

if (unlikely(*shadow_addr))
if (unlikely(addr & 7 >= *shadow_addr))
report_bug(addr);


I suspect that Sasha is using kasan along with ubsan.
In that case generated code much more horrid.
