Industry Practice of Directed Kernel Fuzzing for Open-source Linux Distribution
This program is tentative and subject to change.
Directed grey-box fuzzing is a widely used automatic testing technique that has helped developers test specific code space in the target program. Although many directed fuzzers are designed to test the Linux kernel, deploying directed kernel fuzzing for Linux distribution still remains, due to the complexity of industrial requirements and deployment environments. In this paper, we collaborate with developers from Alibaba and the OpenAnolis community to conduct an industry practice of deploying directed kernel fuzzing on the open-source Linux distribution: OpenAnolis. We highlight several typical challenges and provide corresponding solutions for deploying directed kernel fuzzing, including hard-to-enable target code, abundant irrelevant seeds in the corpus, Lack of system calls for proprietary features, hard-to-coordinate multiple directed fuzzers, automated crash analysis, and the complexity of continuous fuzzing. Our efforts enabled us to discover 11 previously unknown reproducible bugs on the Linux distribution within the OpenAnolis, including vulnerabilities that lead to deadlocks or system crashes.
