We derestricted a number of vulnerabilities found by Big Sleep in JavaScriptCore today: issuetracker.google.com/issu… All of them were fixed in the iOS 26.1 (and equivalent) update last month. Definitely some cool bugs in there!

The OSS-Fuzz team at @Google is using AI-powered fuzzing to find vulns in open-source software and recently reported 26 new vulns to open-source project maintainers, including one in the OpenSSL library which is critical to most internet infrastructure. security.googleblog.com/2024…

New blog post about OSS-Fuzz AI-powered fuzzing is live! We talk about what went into making LLMs work well enough for this use case to find 26 new vulnerabilities (including a CVE in OpenSSL), as well as what else we have planned to make this better. security.googleblog.com/2024…

CVE-2024-9143 (openssl-library.org/news/sec…) was disclosed recently, which was found by OSS-Fuzz-Gen! This is a pretty proud example of our team showing the promise of leveraging LLMs enable more fuzzing coverage.

One week later the bug count is now at 25 bugs total (github.com/google/oss-fuzz-g…) There's still many improvements to be made to improve success rate of generated targets, but we now have the problem of too many crashes to triage. Automating this will a focus of our future research.
This week we've added another 8 trophies to OSS-Fuzz-Gen (for a total of 14)! These are vulnerabilities found by LLM-generated harnesses. The interesting bit here is many of these are in well-fuzzed projects with thousands of hours of fuzzing already. github.com/google/oss-fuzz-g…

Sadly triaging findings by LLM-generated harnesses is fairly manual and time consuming. e.g. Some generated harnesses may not be valid. We have some work ongoing to auto-triage the results (using LLMs) and to steer LLMs away from generating bad harnesses.
