2025 eBPF Misbehavior Detection: Fuzzing with a Specification-Based Oracle
abstract
Bugs in the Linux eBPF verifier may cause it to mistakenly accept unsafe eBPF programs or reject safe ones, causing either security or usability issues. While prior works on fuzzing the eBPF verifier have been effective, their bug oracles only hint at the existence of bugs indirectly (e.g., when a memory error occurs in downstream execution) instead of showing the root cause, confining them to uncover a narrow range of security bugs only with no detection of usability issues.

abstract
Userspace library file systems (LibFSes) promise to unleash the performance potential of non-volatile memory (NVM) by directly accessing it and enabling unprivileged applications to customize their LibFSes to their workloads. Unfortunately, such benefits pose a significant challenge to ensuring metadata integrity. Existing works either underutilize NVM's performance or forgo critical file system security guarantees.
