Abstract

LibKluzzer is a novel implementation of hybrid fuzzing, which combines the strengths of coverage-guided fuzzing and dynamic symbolic execution (a.k.a. whitebox fuzzing). While coverage-guided fuzzing can discover new execution paths at nearly native speed, whitebox fuzzing is capable of getting through complex branch conditions. In contrast to existing hybrid fuzzers, that operate directly on binaries, LibKluzzer leverages the LLVM compiler framework to work at the source code level. It employs LibFuzzer as the coverage-guided fuzzing component and KLUZZER, an extension of KLEE, as the whitebox fuzzing component.

Highlights

  • LibKluzzer is based on hybrid fuzzing which tries to combine the strengths of coverage-guided fuzzing and whitebox fuzzing

  • The LLVM bitcode file is fed to KLUZZER to perform whitebox fuzzing, while the executable is started in two instances to perform coverage-guided fuzzing

  • Transformations for in-process fuzzing While the main components of LibKluzzer are implemented in C++, the program transformations, that are required to enable in-process coverage-guided fuzzing, consist of a set of Bash and Python scripts

Summary

Test Generation Approach

LibKluzzer is based on hybrid fuzzing which tries to combine the strengths of coverage-guided fuzzing and whitebox fuzzing. [6,7,8], employ coverage-guided fuzzing as the main search algorithm and only apply whitebox fuzzing selectively on the most promising inputs. While such advanced approach is being under development and evaluation for LibKluzzer, for simplicity and given the short time frame available for adapting to Test-Comp, the participating version of LibKluzzer combines coverage-guided fuzzing and whitebox fuzzing in a very simple way. Multiple instances of coverage-guided fuzzing and whitebox fuzzing are scripted to run in parallel in their own OS process. They operate on a common corpus to enable sharing the individual progresses.
