Fuzzing: Randomness? Reasoning! Efficient Directed Fuzzing via Large Language Models
Fuzzing is highly effective in detecting bugs due to the key contribution of randomness. However, randomness significantly reduces the efficiency of fuzzing, causing it to cost days or weeks to expose bugs. Even though directed fuzzing reduces randomness by guiding fuzzing towards target buggy locations, the dilemma of randomness still challenges directed fuzzers. Two critical components, which are seeds and mutators, contain randomness and are closely tied to the conditions required for trigge…

I have taken to looking for Copilot AI in GitHub responses before filing issues. If it’s there, I don’t file. Feeling a bit validated here:

Attached: 2 images Sent a pull request to Audacity fixing a crash bug I'd been running into frequently. The cause was an out-of-bounds memmove. Classic C++ areas. Anyway I got a fucking copilot review on my PR which left two comments, both completely wrong, one of which suggesting I reintroduce the out of bounds memory access. I'm furious!

Ensemble Fuzzing with Dynamic Resource Scheduling and Multidimensional Seed Evaluation
Fuzzing is widely used for detecting bugs and vulnerabilities, with various techniques proposed to enhance its effectiveness. To combine the advantages of multiple technologies, researchers proposed ensemble fuzzing, which integrates multiple base fuzzers. Despite promising results, state-of-the-art ensemble fuzzing techniques face limitations in resource scheduling and performance evaluation, leading to unnecessary resource waste. In this paper, we propose Legion, a novel ensemble fuzzing fram…
