2025 Insvdf: Interface-State-Aware Virtual Device Fuzzing
abstract
Hypervisor is the core technology of virtualization for emulating independent hardware resources for each virtual machine. Virtual devices serve as the main interface of the hypervisor, making the security of virtual devices crucial, as any vulnerabilities can impact the entire virtualization environment and pose a threat to the host machine's security. Direct Memory Access (DMA) is the interface of virtual devices, enabling communication with the host machine. Recently, many efforts have focused on fuzzing against DMA to discover the hypervisor's vulnerabilities. However, the lack of sensitivity to the DMA state causes these efforts to be hindered in efficiency during fuzzing. Specifically, there are two main issues: the uncertain interaction moment and the unclear interaction depth. In this paper, we introduce InSVDF, a DMA interface stateaware fuzzing engine. InSVDF first models the intra-interface state of the DMA interface and incorporates an asynchronyaware state snapshot mechanism along with a depth-aware seed preservation mechanism. To validate our approach, we compare InSVDF with a state-of-the-art fuzzer. The results demonstrate that InSVDF significantly enhances vulnerability discovery speed, with improvements of up to 24.2 x in the best case. Furthermore, InSVDF has identified 2 new vulnerabilities, one of which has been assigned a CVE ID.

2023 AMF: Efficient Browser Interprocess Communication Fuzzing
abstract
With the popularity of computers and mobile devices and the development of the Internet, browsers (applications used to retrieve and display information resources on the World Wide Web) are often included by default and have become an indispensable software. Therefore, research on browser security issues is essential for protecting information assets. Among many browsers in the industry, Chrome, as a cross-platform web browser developed by Google, occupies a large market share in desktop browsers, and its security risks are further amplified as its kernel is used by many other browsers. Therefore, the research on the security issues of Chrome browser is critical for browser security.This paper focuses on the vulnerability detection of the process communication interface in Chrome browser, and designs and implements a fuzzing framework, auto-mojo-fuzz (AMF). The fuzzing process mainly designs a sample optimization technique to ensure the effectiveness of input samples and improve the efficiency of fuzzing. After implementing the AMF solution, we evaluate the generated test samples to demonstrate the effectiveness of the sample optimization technique. We also prove the possibility of discovering more vulnerabilities with AMF, and tests it with the latest version of Chrome browser, finding five unique crashes, four of which are verified as security vulnerabilities, effectively proving the automatic and efficient ability of this framework to discover vulnerabilities in the process communication interfaces in browsers.
