surrounded modifications to the "check" target with tests for LIB_PROTO_MUTATOR_TESTING
libprotobuf-mutator is a library to randomly mutate protobuffers.
It could be used together with guided fuzzing engines, such as libFuzzer.
Install prerequisites:
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install binutils cmake ninja-build liblzma-dev libz-dev pkg-config
Compile and test everything:
mkdir build cd build cmake .. -GNinja -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=clang -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=clang++ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ninja check
Clang is only needed for libFuzzer integration.
By default, the system-installed version of protobuf is used. However, on some systems, the system version is too old. You can pass LIB_PROTO_MUTATOR_DOWNLOAD_PROTOBUF=ON to cmake to automatically download and build a working version of protobuf.
Installation:
ninja sudo ninja install
This installs the headers, pkg-config, and static library. By default the headers are put in /usr/local/include/libprotobuf-mutator.
To use libprotobuf-mutator simply include mutator.h and mutator.cc into your build files.
The ProtobufMutator class implements mutations of the protobuf tree structure and mutations of individual fields. The field mutation logic is very basic -- for better results you should override the ProtobufMutator::Mutate* methods with more sophisticated logic, e.g. using libFuzzer's mutators.
To apply one mutation to a protobuf object do the following:
class MyProtobufMutator : public protobuf_mutator::Mutator {
public:
MyProtobufMutator(uint32_t seed) : protobuf_mutator::Mutator(seed) {}
// Optionally redefine the Mutate* methods to perform more sophisticated mutations.
}
void Mutate(MyMessage* message) {
MyProtobufMutator mutator(my_random_seed);
mutator.Mutate(message, 200);
}
See also the ProtobufMutatorMessagesTest.UsageExample test from mutator_test.cc.
LibFuzzerProtobufMutator can help to integrate with libFuzzer. For example
#include "src/libfuzzer/libfuzzer_macro.h"
DEFINE_PROTO_FUZZER(const MyMessageType& input) {
// Code which needs to be fuzzed.
ConsumeMyMessageType(input);
}
Please see libfuzzer_example.cc as an example.
"proto2" and "proto3" handle invalid UTF-8 strings differently. In both cases string should be UTF-8, however only "proto3" enforces that. So if fuzzer is applied to "proto2" type libprotobuf-mutator will generate any strings including invalid UTF-8. If it's a "proto3" message type, only valid UTF-8 will be used.
