ZTaint-Havoc: from Havoc Mode to Zero-Execution Fuzzing-Driven Taint Inference

Fuzzing is a widely used technique for discovering software vulnerabilities, but identifying hot bytes that influence program behavior remains challenging. Traditional taint analysis can track such bytes white-box, but suffers from scalability issue. Fuzzing-Driven Taint Inference FTI offers a...

Bridging the Gap between Hardware Fuzzing and Industrial Verification

As hardware design complexity increases, hardware fuzzing emerges as a promising tool for automating the verification process. However, a significant gap still exists before it can be applied in industry. This paper aims to summarize the current progress of hardware fuzzing from an industry-use...

A Comparative Study of Fuzzers and Static Analysis Tools for Finding Memory Unsafety in C and C++

Even today, over 70% of security vulnerabilities in critical software systems result from memory safety violations. To address this challenge, fuzzing and static analysis are widely used automated methods to discover such vulnerabilities. Fuzzing generates random program inputs to identify faults...

CVE-2025-5203

A vulnerability was found in Open Asset Import Library Assimp 5.4.3. It has been rated as problematic. Affected by this issue is the function SkipSpaces in the library assimp/include/assimp/ParsingUtils.h. The manipulation leads to out-of-bounds read. Local access is required to approach this...

CVE-2025-5165

A vulnerability was found in Open Asset Import Library Assimp 5.4.3 and classified as problematic. This issue affects the function MDCImporter::ValidateSurfaceHeader of the file assimp/code/AssetLib/MDC/MDCLoader.cpp. The manipulation of the argument pcSurface2 leads to out-of-bounds read...

CVE-2023-26266

In AFL++ 4.05c, the CmpLog component uses the current working directory to resolve and execute unprefixed fuzzing targets, allowing code execution...

CVE-2023-27601

OpenSIPS is a Session Initiation Protocol SIP server implementation. Prior to versions 3.1.7 and 3.2.4, OpenSIPS crashes when a malformed SDP body is received and is processed by the deletesdpline function in the sipmsgops module. This issue can be reproduced by calling the function with an SDP...

CVE-2023-3768

Incorrect data input validation vulnerability, which could allow an attacker with access to the network to implement fuzzing techniques that would allow him to gain knowledge about specially crafted packets that would create a DoS condition through the MMS protocol when initiating communication,...

CVE-2022-24666

A program using swift-nio-http2 is vulnerable to a denial of service attack, caused by a network peer sending a specially crafted HTTP/2 frame. This attack affects all swift-nio-http2 versions from 1.0.0 to 1.19.1. This vulnerability is caused by a logical error when parsing a HTTP/2 HEADERS fram...

CVE-2022-24668

A program using swift-nio-http2 is vulnerable to a denial of service attack caused by a network peer sending ALTSVC or ORIGIN frames. This attack affects all swift-nio-http2 versions from 1.0.0 to 1.19.1. This vulnerability is caused by a logical error after frame parsing but before frame handlin...

SUSE CVE-2025-37939

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: libbpf: Fix accessing BTF.ext corerelo header Update btfextparseinfo to ensure the corerelo header is present before reading its fields. This avoids a potential buffer read overflow reported by the OSS Fuzz project...

SynFuzz: Leveraging Fuzzing of Netlist to Detect Synthesis Bugs

In the evolving landscape of integrated circuit IC design, the increasing complexity of modern processors and intellectual property IP cores has introduced new challenges in ensuring design correctness and security. The recent advancements in hardware fuzzing techniques have shown their efficacy ...

ROSA: Finding Backdoors with Fuzzing

A code-level backdoor is a hidden access, programmed and concealed within the code of a program. For instance, hard-coded credentials planted in the code of a file server application would enable maliciously logging into all deployed instances of this application. Confirmed software supply chain...

Breaking the Sound Barrier Part I: Fuzzing CoreAudio with Mach Messages

Guest post by Dillon Franke, Senior Security Engineer, 20% time on Project Zero Every second, highly-privileged MacOS system daemons accept and process hundreds of IPC messages. In some cases, these message handlers accept data from sandboxed or unprivileged processes. In this blog post, I’ll...

An Empirical Study of Fuzz Harness Degradation

The purpose of continuous fuzzing platforms is to enable fuzzing for software projects via \emphfuzz harnesses -- but as the projects continue to evolve, are these harnesses updated in lockstep, or do they run out of date? If these harnesses remain unmaintained, will they \emphdegrade over time i...
