Fuzzing GStreamer
=================
This directory contains the various fuzzing targets and helper
scripts.
* Fuzzing targets
Fuzzing targets as small applications where we can test a specific
element or API. The goal is to have them be as small/targetted as
possible.
ex: appsrc ! <some_element> ! fakesink num-buffers=<small>
Not all components can be tested directly and therefore will be
indirectly tested via other targets (ex: libgstaudio will be tested
by targets/elements requiring it)
Anything that can process externally-provided data should be
covered, but there are cases where it might not make sense to use a
fuzzer (such as most elements processing raw audio/video).
* build-oss-fuzz.sh
This is the script executed by the oss-fuzz project.
It builds glib, GStreamer, plugins and the fuzzing targets.
* *.c
The fuzzing targets where the data to test will be provided to a
function whose signature follows the LibFuzzer signature:
https://llvm.org/docs/LibFuzzer.html
* TODO
* Add a standalone build script
We need to be able to build and test the fuzzing targets outside
of the oss-fuzz infrastructure, and do that in our continous
integration system.
We need:
* A dummy fuzzing engine (given a directory, it opens all files and
calls the fuzzing targets with the content of those files.
* A script to be able to build those targets with that dummy engine
* A corpus of files to test those targets with.
* Build targets with dummy engine and run with existing tests.
* Create pull-based variants
Currently the existing targets are push-based only. Where
applicable we should make pull-based variants to test the other
code paths.
* Add more targets
core:
gst_parse fuzzer ?
base:
ext/
ogg
opus
pango
theora
vorbis
gst/
subparse
typefind : already covered in typefind target
gst-libs/gst/
sdp
other ones easily testable directly ?
