This directory contains the fuzz tests for wasmer. To fuzz, we use the cargo-fuzz package.

Installation

You may need to install the cargo-fuzz package to get the cargo fuzz subcommand. Use

$ cargo install cargo-fuzz

cargo-fuzz is documented in the Rust Fuzz Book.

Running a fuzzer (validate, jit_llvm, native_cranelift, ...)

Once cargo-fuzz is installed, you can run the validate fuzzer with

cargo fuzz run validate

or the jit_cranelift fuzzer

cargo fuzz run jit_cranelift

See the fuzz/fuzz_targets directory for the full list of targets.

You should see output that looks something like this:

It will continue to generate random inputs forever, until it finds a bug or is terminated. The testcases for bugs it finds go into fuzz/artifacts/jit_cranelift and you can rerun the fuzzer on a single input by passing it on the command line cargo fuzz run jit_cranelift my_testcase.wasm.

Seeding the corpus, optional

The fuzzer works best when it has examples of small Wasm files to start with. Using wast2json from wabt, we can easily produce .wasm files out of the WebAssembly spec tests.

mkdir spec-test-corpus
for i in `find tests/ -name "*.wast"`; do wast2json --enable-all $i -o spec-test-corpus/$(basename $i).json; done
mv spec-test-corpus/*.wasm fuzz/corpus/validate/
rm -r spec-test-corpus

The corpus directory is created on the first run of the fuzzer. If it doesn't exist, run it first and then seed the corpus. The fuzzer will pick up new files added to the corpus while it is running.
