SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

OSS-Fuzz provides open, distributed fuzzing infrastructure for open-source software, enabling teams to continuously discover crashes and security issues without managing bespoke fuzzing pipelines.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Enrollment automation: creates and manages project.yaml, Dockerfile, and build.sh to onboard new projects.
  • Fuzzing orchestration: builds fuzzers, runs harnesses with sanitizers, and collects coverage data.
  • Reporting & triage: generates coverage reports and helps reproduce crashes for security reviews or code improvements.
  • Use Case: A maintainer adds a new C++ project to OSS-Fuzz and automatically configures fuzzing, runs tests, and reviews the resulting crash reports.

Quick Start

Create the OSS-Fuzz enrollment files for your project and use helper.py to build and run fuzzers locally.

FAQPage Schema
How do I enroll an open-source project for automated fuzzing?

To enroll an open-source project for automated fuzzing, you need to create the required OSS-Fuzz configuration files: project.yaml, Dockerfile, build.sh, and helper.py. These files define the build environment and fuzzing harnesses for continuous testing.

Can I use fuzzing harnesses with Rust and Go projects?

Fuzzing harnesses are fully supported with Rust and Go projects, alongside C/C++ and Python. The system uses sanitizers like ASan and UBSan to build and run these harnesses, enabling crash discovery across multiple programming languages.

What is the process for crash triage after running fuzzers?

Crash triage involves using helper.py to reproduce the crashes discovered by the fuzzers. After running tests with sanitizers, the system collects crash reports and coverage data to help you review and resolve security issues.

How do I generate coverage reports for a C++ fuzzing target?

Coverage reports for a C++ fuzzing target are generated using the integrated coverage tooling. By running the fuzzing harnesses and collecting the resulting coverage data, the system produces detailed reports for code improvement analysis.

Do I need Docker to configure continuous fuzzing infrastructure?

Docker is required to configure continuous fuzzing infrastructure because the enrollment process uses a Dockerfile to define the build environment. This containerized setup ensures reproducible builds and consistent fuzzer execution.

What are the limitations of using distributed fuzzing for open-source software?

Distributed fuzzing for open-source software requires maintaining specific configuration files like project.yaml and build.sh. Limitations include the need for manual harness development and ensuring your project builds successfully within the Docker environment.
