Subject: [PATCH 0/5] Add AFL++ fuzzing support for passt
Date: Wed, 12 Aug 2026 12:56:23 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260812072630.3235261-1-anskuma@redhat.com> (raw)

This series adds integrated AFL++ fuzzing support for passt,
extending the earlier work by AbdAlRahman Gad with
persistent mode, bidirectional protocol fuzzing, and real
TCP connection coverage via a companion test server.

Architecture
------------
The fuzzer runs passt in AFL++ persistent mode (__AFL_LOOP)
with shared memory fuzzing. A separate test server process
connects to passt's UNIX socket and listens on 127.0.0.1:9999
for real TCP connections:

Deterministic wrappers replace clock_gettime, getrandom,
getsockopt, and recv-family calls to eliminate kernel-level
non-determinism. Per-iteration reset of the flow table,
epoll instance, and clock.

*** BLURB HERE ***

Anshu Kumari (5):
  fuzz: Add deterministic wrappers for system calls
  fuzz: Add flow type guards for fuzzing stability
  fuzz: Bypass isolation and adapt sockets for AFL++
  fuzz: Add AFL++ persistent mode fuzz loop
  fuzz: Add test server for bidirectional protocol fuzzing
