wasm-mutate

A Bytecode Alliance project

wasm-mutate is a new tool for fuzzing Wasm compilers, runtimes, validators, and other Wasm-consuming programs.

Crates.io version Download docs.rs docs

Usage

Add wasm-mutate to your Cargo.toml:

$ cargo add wasm-mutate

You can also mutate a WebAssembly binary by using the cli tool:

wasm-tools mutate original.wasm --seed 0 -o out.wasm --preserve-semantics

Features

  • semantically equivalent transformations: wasm-mutate has the ability to only apply semantics-preserving changes to the input Wasm module. When it is used in this mode, the mutated Wasm computes identical results when given the same inputs as the original Wasm module.

  • determinism: wasm-mutate is deterministic, i.e., given the same input Wasm module and the same seed, it always produces the same mutated output Wasm module.

  • libfuzzer integration: wasm-mutate integrates well with mutation-based fuzzers like libFuzzer. It reuses the fuzzer's raw input strings. wasm-mutate works with the LLVMFuzzerCustomMutator hook and the libfuzzer_sys::fuzz_mutator! macro.

    Example

    #![no_main]
    
    use libfuzzer_sys::{fuzz_mutator, fuzz_target};
    use std::io::{BufRead, Read, Write};
    use wasmparser::WasmFeatures;
    
    fuzz_target!(|bytes: &[u8]| {
        // Initialize the Wasm for example
    });
    
    fuzz_mutator!(|data: &mut [u8], size: usize, max_size: usize, seed: u32| {
        // Generate a random Wasm module with `wasm-smith` as well as a RNG seed for
        let wasm = &data[..size];
        let features = WasmFeatures::default();
        let mut validator = wasmparser::Validator::new();
        validator.wasm_features(features);
        let validation_result = validator.validate_all(&wasm);
    
        // Mutate the data if its a valid Wasm file, otherwise, create a random one
        let wasm = if validation_result.is_ok() {
            wasm.to_vec()
        } else {
            let (w, _) = match wasm_tools_fuzz::generate_valid_module_from_seed(seed, |config, u| {
                config.exceptions_enabled = false;
                config.simd_enabled = false;
                config.reference_types_enabled = false;
                config.memory64_enabled = false;
                config.max_memories = 1;
                Ok(())
            }) {
                Ok(m) => m,
                Err(_) => {
                    return size;
                }
            };
            w
        };
    
        let mutated_wasm = wasm_mutate::WasmMutate::default()
            .seed(seed.into())
            .fuel(1000)
            .preserve_semantics(true)
            .run(&wasm);
    
        let mutated_wasm = match mutated_wasm {
            Ok(w) => w,
            Err(_) => wasm,
        };
    
        // The mutated Wasm should still be valid, since the input Wasm was valid.
        let newsize = mutated_wasm.len();
        data[..newsize].copy_from_slice(&mutated_wasm[..newsize]);
        newsize
    });
    
  • test case reduction (WIP): wasm-mutate can have the ability to restrict mutations to only those that shrink the size of the Wasm module. If it is used in this mode, wasm-mutate essentially becomes a Wasm test-case reducer. We are currently working to provide a prototype of this feature as a separate binary. The following pseudo-Rust provides the general picture of it as an standard hill-climbing algorithm.

      let wasmmutate = wasm_mutate::WasmMutate::default()
              .seed(seed)
              .fuel(1000)
              .preserve_semantics(true)
              .reduce(true);
    
      while MAX_ITERATIONS > 0 {
          let new_wasm = wasmmutate.run(&wasm);
          wasm = if check_equivalence(new_wasm, wasm) {
            wasm
          } else{
            panic!("No valid transformations")
          }
          MAX_ITERATIONS -= 1;
      }
    
      return wasm
