Fuzzer for libstagefright_m4vh263dec decoder

Plugin Design Considerations

The fuzzer plugin for MPEG4/H263 is designed based on the understanding of the codec and tries to achieve the following:

Maximize code coverage

Dict files (dictionary files) are created for MPEG4 and H263 to ensure that the required start bytes are present in every input file that goes to the fuzzer. This ensures that decoder does not reject any input file in the first check

Maximize utilization of input data

The plugin feeds the entire input data to the codec using a loop.

• If the decode operation was successful, the input is advanced by the number of bytes consumed in the decode call.
• If the decode operation was un-successful, the input is advanced by 1 byte so that the fuzzer can proceed to feed the next frame.

This ensures that the plugin tolerates any kind of input (empty, huge, malformed, etc) and doesnt exit() on any input and thereby increasing the chance of identifying vulnerabilities.

Other considerations

• Two fuzzer binaries - mpeg4_dec_fuzzer and h263_dec_fuzzer are generated based on the presence of a flag - ‘MPEG4’
• The number of decode calls are kept to a maximum of 100 so that the fuzzer does not timeout.

Build

This describes steps to build mpeg4_dec_fuzzer and h263_dec_fuzzer binary.

Android

Steps to build

Build the fuzzer

  $ mm -j$(nproc) mpeg4_dec_fuzzer
  $ mm -j$(nproc) h263_dec_fuzzer

Steps to run

Create a directory CORPUS_DIR and copy some MPEG4 or H263 files to that folder Push this directory to device.

To run on device

  $ adb sync data
  $ adb shell /data/fuzz/arm64/mpeg4_dec_fuzzer/mpeg4_dec_fuzzer CORPUS_DIR
  $ adb shell /data/fuzz/arm64/h263_dec_fuzzer/h263_dec_fuzzer CORPUS_DIR

To run on host

  $ $ANDROID_HOST_OUT/fuzz/x86_64/mpeg4_dec_fuzzer/mpeg4_dec_fuzzer CORPUS_DIR
  $ $ANDROID_HOST_OUT/fuzz/x86_64/h263_dec_fuzzer/h263_dec_fuzzer CORPUS_DIR

Plugin Design Considerations

The fuzzer plugin for MPEG4/H263 is designed based on the understanding of the codec and tries to achieve the following:

Maximize code coverage

The configuration parameters are not hardcoded, but instead selected based on incoming data. This ensures more code paths are reached by the fuzzer.

MPEG4/H263 supports the following parameters:

1. Frame Width (parameter name: encWidth)
2. Frame Height (parameter name: encHeight)
3. Rate control mode (parameter name: rcType)
4. Number of bytes per packet (parameter name: packetSize)
5. Qp for I-Vop(parameter name: iQuant)
6. Qp for P-Vop (parameter name: pQuant)
7. Enable RVLC mode (parameter name: rvlcEnable)
8. Quantization mode (parameter name: quantType)
9. Disable frame skipping (parameter name: noFrameSkipped)
10. Enable scene change detection (parameter name: sceneDetect)
11. Number of intra MBs in P-frame(parameter name: numIntraMB)
12. Search range of ME (parameter name: searchRange)
13. Enable 8x8 ME and MC (parameter name: mv8x8Enable)
14. Enable AC prediction (parameter name: useACPred)
15. Threshold for intra DC VLC (parameter name: intraDCVlcTh)
16. Encoding Mode (parameter name: encMode)

Following parameters are only for mpeg4_enc_fuzzer

Following parameters are only for h263_enc_fuzzer

This also ensures that the plugin is always deterministic for any given input.

Maximize utilization of input data

The plugin feeds the entire input data to the codec using a loop. If the encode operation was successful, the input is advanced by the frame size. If the encode operation was un-successful, the input is still advanced by frame size so that the fuzzer can proceed to feed the next frame.

This ensures that the plugin tolerates any kind of input (empty, huge, malformed, etc) and doesnt exit() on any input and thereby increasing the chance of identifying vulnerabilities.
