Fuzzing RocksDB

Overview

This directory contains fuzz tests for RocksDB. RocksDB testing infrastructure currently includes unit tests and stress tests, we hope fuzz testing can catch more bugs.

Prerequisite

We use LLVM libFuzzer as the fuzzying engine, so make sure you have clang as your compiler.

Some tests rely on structure aware fuzzing. We use protobuf to define structured input to the fuzzer, and use libprotobuf-mutator as the custom libFuzzer mutator. So make sure you have protobuf and libprotobuf-mutator installed, and make sure pkg-config can find them.

Example

This example shows you how to do structure aware fuzzing to rocksdb::SstFileWriter.

After walking through the steps to create the fuzzer, we'll introduce a bug into rocksdb::SstFileWriter::Put, then show that the fuzzer can catch the bug.

Design the test

We want the fuzzing engine to automatically generate a list of database operations, then we apply these operations to SstFileWriter in sequence, finally, after the SST file is generated, we use SstFileReader to check the file's checksum.

Define input

We define the database operations in protobuf, each operation has a type of operation and a key value pair, see proto/db_operation.proto for details.

Define tests with the input

In sst_file_writer_fuzzer.cc, we define the tests to be run on the generated input:

DEFINE_PROTO_FUZZER(DBOperations& input) {
  // apply the operations to SstFileWriter and use SstFileReader to verify checksum.
  // ...
}

SstFileWriter requires the keys of the operations to be unique and be in ascending order, but the fuzzing engine generates the input randomly, so we need to process the generated input before passing it to DEFINE_PROTO_FUZZER, this is accomplished by registering a post processor:

protobuf_mutator::libfuzzer::PostProcessorRegistration<DBOperations>

Compile and link the fuzzer

Go to the fuzz directory, run make sst_file_writer_fuzzer to generate the fuzzer, it will compile rocksdb static library, generate protobuf, then compile and link sst_file_writer_fuzzer.

Introduce a bug

Manually introduce a bug to SstFileWriter::Put:

diff --git a/table/sst_file_writer.cc b/table/sst_file_writer.cc
index ab1ee7c4e..c7da9ffa0 100644
--- a/table/sst_file_writer.cc
+++ b/table/sst_file_writer.cc
@@ -277,6 +277,11 @@ Status SstFileWriter::Add(const Slice& user_key, const Slice& value) {
 }

 Status SstFileWriter::Put(const Slice& user_key, const Slice& value) {
+  if (user_key.starts_with("!")) {
+    if (value.ends_with("!")) {
+      return Status::Corruption("bomb");
+    }
+  }
   return rep_->Add(user_key, value, ValueType::kTypeValue);
 }

The bug is that for Put, if user_key starts with ! and value ends with !, then corrupt.

Run fuzz testing to catch the bug

Run the fuzzer by time ./sst_file_writer_fuzzer.

Here is the output on my machine:
