FuzzBuilder: Automated building greybox fuzzing environment for C/C++ library
Fuzzing is an effective method to find bugs in software. Many security communities are interested in fuzzing as an automated approach to verify software security because most of the bugs discovered by fuzzing are related to security vulnerabilities. However, not all software can be tested by fuzzing because fuzzing requires a running environment, especially an executable. Notably, in the case of libraries, most of the libraries do not have a relevant executable in practice. Thus, state-of-the-art fuzzers have a limitation to test an arbitrary library. To overcome this problem, we propose FuzzBuilder to provide an automated fuzzing environment for libraries. FuzzBuilder generates an executable that calls library API functions to enable library fuzzing. Moreover, any executable generated by FuzzBuilder is compatible with existing fuzzers such as AFL. We evaluate the overall performance of FuzzBuilder by testing open source libraries. Consequently, we discovered unknown bugs in libraries while achieving high code coverage. We believe that FuzzBuilder helps security researchers to save both setup cost and learning cost for library fuzzing.
