In order to build the fuzzer one needs to build HarfBuzz and
harfbuzz/test/fuzzing/hb-fuzzer.cc with:
- Using the most recent Clang
- With -fsanitize=address (or =undefined, or a combination)
- With -fsanitize-coverage=edge[,8bit-counters,trace-cmp]
- With various defines that limit worst case exponential behavior:
* -DHB_MAX_NESTING_LEVEL=3
* -DHB_SANITIZE_MAX_EDITS=3
* See Makefile.am for full list of flags
- link against libFuzzer
To run the fuzzer one needs to first obtain a test corpus as a directory
containing interesting fonts. A good starting point is inside
harfbuzz/test/shaping/fonts/fonts/.
Then, run the fuzzer like this:
./hb-fuzzer -max_len=2048 CORPUS_DIR
Where max_len specifies the maximal length of font files to handle.
The smaller the faster.
