Linux Kernel System Call Fuzzing

Linux Kernel System Call Fuzzing
Abstract:
Exisiting Linux kernel system call fuzzing techniques involve passing of completely random or semi-random(using templates) values as parameters to system calls to find bugs and corner cases. State of the art fuzzers successfully utilize evolutionary coverage guided techniques to improve the quality of the generated random values. Such techniques however do not detect deep bugs in the kernel. System …more
