# Fuzzing
Each fuzzing target can be built with multiple engines.
Zstd provides a fuzz corpus for each target that can be downloaded with
the command:
```
make corpora
```
It will download each corpus into `./corpora/TARGET`.
## fuzz.py
`fuzz.py` is a helper script for building and running fuzzers.
Run `./fuzz.py -h` for the commands and run `./fuzz.py COMMAND -h` for
command specific help.
### Generating Data
`fuzz.py` provides a utility to generate seed data for each fuzzer.
```
make -C ../tests decodecorpus
./fuzz.py gen TARGET
```
By default it outputs 100 samples, each at most 8KB into `corpora/TARGET-seed`,
but that can be configured with the `--number`, `--max-size-log` and `--seed`
flags.
### Build
It respects the usual build environment variables `CC`, `CFLAGS`, etc.
The environment variables can be overridden with the corresponding flags
`--cc`, `--cflags`, etc.
The specific fuzzing engine is selected with `LIB_FUZZING_ENGINE` or
`--lib-fuzzing-engine`, the default is `libregression.a`.
Alternatively, you can use Clang's built in fuzzing engine with
`--enable-fuzzer`.
It has flags that can easily set up sanitizers `--enable-{a,ub,m}san`, and
coverage instrumentation `--enable-coverage`.
It sets sane defaults which can be overridden with flags `--debug`,
`--enable-ubsan-pointer-overflow`, etc.
Run `./fuzz.py build -h` for help.
### Running Fuzzers
`./fuzz.py` can run `libfuzzer`, `afl`, and `regression` tests.
See the help of the relevant command for options.
Flags not parsed by `fuzz.py` are passed to the fuzzing engine.
The command used to run the fuzzer is printed for debugging.
## LibFuzzer
```
# Build the fuzz targets
./fuzz.py build all --enable-fuzzer --enable-asan --enable-ubsan --cc clang --cxx clang++
# OR equivalently
CC=clang CXX=clang++ ./fuzz.py build all --enable-fuzzer --enable-asan --enable-ubsan
# Run the fuzzer
./fuzz.py libfuzzer TARGET <libfuzzer args like -jobs=4>
```
where `TARGET` could be `simple_decompress`, `stream_round_trip`, etc.
### MSAN
Fuzzing with `libFuzzer` and `MSAN` is as easy as:
```
CC=clang CXX=clang++ ./fuzz.py build all --enable-fuzzer --enable-msan
./fuzz.py libfuzzer TARGET <libfuzzer args>
```
`fuzz.py` respects the environment variables / flags `MSAN_EXTRA_CPPFLAGS`,
`MSAN_EXTRA_CFLAGS`, `MSAN_EXTRA_CXXFLAGS`, `MSAN_EXTRA_LDFLAGS` to easily pass
the extra parameters only for MSAN.
## AFL
The default `LIB_FUZZING_ENGINE` is `libregression.a`, which produces a binary
that AFL can use.
```
# Build the fuzz targets
CC=afl-clang CXX=afl-clang++ ./fuzz.py build all --enable-asan --enable-ubsan
# Run the fuzzer without a memory limit because of ASAN
./fuzz.py afl TARGET -m none
```
## Regression Testing
The regression test supports the `all` target to run all the fuzzers in one
command.
```
CC=clang CXX=clang++ ./fuzz.py build all --enable-asan --enable-ubsan
./fuzz.py regression all
CC=clang CXX=clang++ ./fuzz.py build all --enable-msan
./fuzz.py regression all
```
