Libfuzzer for libpng

This folder contains an example fuzzer for libpng, using LLMP for fast multi-process fuzzing and crash detection. To show off crash detection, we added a ud2 instruction to the harness, edit harness.cc if you want a non-crashing example. It has been tested on Linux.

Build

To build this example, run cargo build --release in this folder. This will call (the build.rs)[./build.rs], which in turn downloads a libpng archive from the web. Then, it will link (the fuzzer)[./src/fuzzer.rs] against (the C++ harness)[./harness.cc] and the instrumented libpng. Afterwards, the fuzzer will be ready to run, from target/frida_libpng.
On unix platforms, you'll need libc++ to build it.

Alternatively you can run just run and this command will automatically build and run the fuzzer

Build For Android

When building for android using a cross-compiler, make sure you have a standalone toolchain, and then add the following:

  1. In the ~/.cargo/config file add a target with the correct cross-compiler toolchain name (in this case aarch64-linux-android, but names may vary) [target.aarch64-linux-android] linker="aarch64-linux-android-clang"
  2. add path to installed toolchain to PATH env variable.
  3. define CLANG_PATH and add target to the build command line: CLANG_PATH=<path to installed toolchain>/bin/aarch64-linux-android-clang cargo -v build --release --target=aarch64-linux-android

Run

This example uses in-process-fuzzing, using the launcher feature, in combination with a Restarting Event Manager. This means running --cores each client will start itself again to listen for crashes and timeouts. By restarting the actual fuzzer, it can recover from these exit conditions.

After building the libpng-harness, you can run find . -name libpng-harness.so to find the location of your harness, then run ./frida_fuzzer -F LLVMFuzzerTestOneInput -H ./libpng-harness.so -l ./libpng-harness.so

Windows

You can also fuzz libpng-1.6.37 on windows with frida mode

To build it with visual studio

  1. Install clang for windows (make sure you add LLVM to the system path!) https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/releases/tag/llvmorg-12.0.1

  2. Download libpng-1.6.37 and zlib into this directory, and rename zlib-1.2.11 directory to zlib.

  3. Build libpng1.6.37

    • Open libpng-1.6.37/projects/vstudio/vstudio.sln
    • Open Build->Configuration Manager
      • select Release for Active solution configuration and
      • select ->x64 for Active solution platform (Copy settings from Win32)
    • Then for libpng, pngstest, pngtest, pngunknown, pngvalid, zlib in Solution Explorer, choose General -> Configuration Type -> Static library(.lib)
      • C/C++ -> Treat Warnings As Errors -> No
      • C/C++ -> Code Generation -> Runtime Library -> Multi-threaded (/MT)
    • Finally, you can build libpng-1.6.37
  4. Compile the harness Fire up a powershell at this directory.

cp .\libpng-1.6.37\projects\vstudio\x64\Release\libpng16.lib .
cp .\libpng-1.6.37\projects\vstudio\x64\Release\zlib.lib .
cp .\target\release\frida_libpng.exe .
clang++ -O3 -c -I.\libpng-1.6.37 .\harness.cc -o .\harness.o
clang++ -L.\zlib.dll .\harness.o .\libpng16.lib -lzlib -shared -o .\libpng-harness.dll
  1. Run the fuzzer
./frida_fuzzer.exe ./libpng-harness.dll LLVMFuzzerTestOneInput ./libpng-harness.dll

To build it with visual studio for ci (no gui)

Assumes that the fuzzer is already built with cargo build --release

  1. download and build zlib in this directory
powershell -Command Invoke-WebRequest -OutFile zlib-1.2.11.tar.gz https://zlib.net/fossils/zlib-1.2.11.tar.gz
tar -xvf zlib-1.2.11.tar.gz
del /q zlib-1.2.11.tar.gz
move zlib-1.2.11 zlib
cd zlib 
cmake -A x64 -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=cl .
cmake --build . --config Release
  1. download and build libpng in this directory
powershell -Command Invoke-WebRequest -OutFile libpng-1.6.37.tar.gz https://github.com/glennrp/libpng/archive/refs/tags/v1.6.37.tar.gz
tar -xvf libpng-1.6.37.tar.gz
del /q libpng-1.6.37.tar.gz
cd libpng-1.6.37 
cmake -A x64 -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=cl -DZLIB_ROOT=..\zlib -DZLIB_LIBRARY=..\zlib\Release\zlib.lib . 
cmake --build . --config Release
  1. copy libraries from zlib and libpng and use to build harness
copy libpng-1.6.37\Release\libpng16.lib . 
copy libpng-1.6.37\Release\libpng16.dll . 
copy zlib\Release\zlib.lib . 
copy zlib\Release\zlib.dll . 
copy target\release\frida_fuzzer.exe .
cl /O2 /c /I .\libpng-1.6.37 harness.cc /Fo:harness.obj 
link /DLL /OUT:libpng-harness.dll harness.obj libpng16.lib zlib.lib
  1. start fuzzing
.\frida_fuzzer.exe -F LLVMFuzzerTestOneInput -H .\libpng-harness.dll -l .\libpng-harness.dll -l .\zlib.dll -l .\libpng16.dll --cores 0

OR

  1. Run just test
