Fuzz-testing Dash Core
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
A special test harness in `src/test/fuzz/` is provided for each fuzz target to
|
|
provide an easy entry point for fuzzers and the like. In this document we'll
|
|
describe how to use it with AFL and libFuzzer.
|
|
|
|
## Preparing fuzzing
|
|
|
|
The fuzzer needs some inputs to work on, but the inputs or seeds can be used
|
|
interchangeably between libFuzzer and AFL.
|
|
|
|
Extract the example seeds (or other starting inputs) into the inputs
|
|
directory before starting fuzzing.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
git clone https://github.com/bitcoin-core/qa-assets
|
|
export DIR_FUZZ_IN=$PWD/qa-assets/fuzz_seed_corpus
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
AFL needs an input directory with examples, and an output directory where it
|
|
will place examples that it found. These can be anywhere in the file system,
|
|
we'll define environment variables to make it easy to reference them.
|
|
|
|
So, only for AFL you need to configure the outputs path:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
mkdir outputs
|
|
export AFLOUT=$PWD/outputs
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
libFuzzer will use the input directory as output directory.
|
|
|
|
## AFL
|
|
|
|
### Building AFL
|
|
|
|
It is recommended to always use the latest version of afl:
|
|
```
|
|
wget http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/afl/releases/afl-latest.tgz
|
|
tar -zxvf afl-latest.tgz
|
|
cd afl-<version>
|
|
make
|
|
export AFLPATH=$PWD
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For macOS you may need to ignore x86 compilation checks when running `make`:
|
|
`AFL_NO_X86=1 make`.
|
|
|
|
### Instrumentation
|
|
|
|
To build Dash Core using AFL instrumentation (this assumes that the
|
|
`AFLPATH` was set as above):
|
|
```
|
|
./configure --disable-ccache --disable-shared --enable-tests --enable-fuzz --disable-wallet --disable-bench --with-utils=no --with-daemon=no --with-libs=no --with-gui=no CC=${AFLPATH}/afl-gcc CXX=${AFLPATH}/afl-g++
|
|
export AFL_HARDEN=1
|
|
make
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you are using clang you will need to substitute `afl-gcc` with `afl-clang`
|
|
and `afl-g++` with `afl-clang++`, so the first line above becomes:
|
|
```
|
|
./configure --disable-ccache --disable-shared --enable-tests --enable-fuzz CC=${AFLPATH}/afl-clang CXX=${AFLPATH}/afl-clang++
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
We disable ccache because we don't want to pollute the ccache with instrumented
|
|
objects, and similarly don't want to use non-instrumented cached objects linked
|
|
in.
|
|
|
|
The fuzzing can be sped up significantly (~200x) by using `afl-clang-fast` and
|
|
`afl-clang-fast++` in place of `afl-gcc` and `afl-g++` when compiling. When
|
|
compiling using `afl-clang-fast`/`afl-clang-fast++` the resulting
|
|
binary will be instrumented in such a way that the AFL
|
|
features "persistent mode" and "deferred forkserver" can be used. See
|
|
https://github.com/google/AFL/tree/master/llvm_mode for details.
|
|
|
|
### Fuzzing
|
|
|
|
To start the actual fuzzing use:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
export FUZZ_TARGET=bech32 # Pick a fuzz_target
|
|
mkdir ${AFLOUT}/${FUZZ_TARGET}
|
|
$AFLPATH/afl-fuzz -i ${DIR_FUZZ_IN}/${FUZZ_TARGET} -o ${AFLOUT}/${FUZZ_TARGET} -m52 -- src/test/fuzz/${FUZZ_TARGET}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You may have to change a few kernel parameters to test optimally - `afl-fuzz`
|
|
will print an error and suggestion if so.
|
|
|
|
On macOS you may need to set `AFL_NO_FORKSRV=1` to get the target to run.
|
|
```
|
|
export FUZZ_TARGET=bech32 # Pick a fuzz_target
|
|
mkdir ${AFLOUT}/${FUZZ_TARGET}
|
|
AFL_NO_FORKSRV=1 $AFLPATH/afl-fuzz -i ${DIR_FUZZ_IN}/${FUZZ_TARGET} -o ${AFLOUT}/${FUZZ_TARGET} -m52 -- src/test/fuzz/${FUZZ_TARGET}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## libFuzzer
|
|
|
|
A recent version of `clang`, the address/undefined sanitizers (ASan/UBSan) and
|
|
libFuzzer is needed (all found in the `compiler-rt` runtime libraries package).
|
|
|
|
To build all fuzz targets with libFuzzer, run
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
./configure --disable-ccache --disable-wallet --disable-bench --with-utils=no --with-daemon=no --with-libs=no --with-gui=no --enable-fuzz --with-sanitizers=fuzzer,address CC=clang CXX=clang++
|
|
make
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
See https://llvm.org/docs/LibFuzzer.html#running on how to run the libFuzzer
|
|
instrumented executable.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can run the script through the fuzzing test harness (only
|
|
libFuzzer supported so far). You need to pass it the inputs directory and
|
|
the specific test target you want to run.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
./test/fuzz/test_runner.py ${DIR_FUZZ_IN} bech32
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### macOS hints for libFuzzer
|
|
|
|
The default clang/llvm version supplied by Apple on macOS does not include
|
|
fuzzing libraries, so macOS users will need to install a full version, for
|
|
example using `brew install llvm`.
|
|
|
|
Should you run into problems with the address sanitizer, it is possible you
|
|
may need to run `./configure` with `--disable-asm` to avoid errors
|
|
with certain assembly code from Bitcoin Core's code. See [developer notes on sanitizers](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/developer-notes.md#sanitizers)
|
|
for more information.
|
|
|
|
You may also need to take care of giving the correct path for clang and
|
|
clang++, like `CC=/path/to/clang CXX=/path/to/clang++` if the non-systems
|
|
clang does not come first in your path.
|
|
|
|
Full configure that was tested on macOS Catalina with `brew` installed `llvm`:
|
|
```
|
|
./configure --disable-ccache --enable-fuzz --with-sanitizers=fuzzer,address,undefined CC=/usr/local/opt/llvm/bin/clang CXX=/usr/local/opt/llvm/bin/clang++ --disable-asm
|
|
```
