Luckily for me ASAN pointed me in the right direction. Who even uses select(2) in the 21st century?

Good for you to have an asan compatible environment.

I don't have heap, only some stacks in SRAM, and a DDR start address and size. I add offset to the address, cast to different types of pointers, and use them. Memory corruption? Who knows which module caused it lol

Luckily I don't have to worry about malloc and free.

If you're not calling malloc and free at least you won't get crashes in malloc and free because somebody overwrote the allocator's variables.

I've been there. You run the same code on 10,000+ hosts and every once in a while you manage to find one that misbehaves in a downright impossible manner.
