Integrating a Go project

{: .no_toc}

  • TOC {:toc}

The process of integrating a project written in Go with OSS-Fuzz is very similar to the general [Setting up a new project]({{ site.baseurl }}/getting-started/new-project-guide/) process. The key specifics of integrating a Go project are outlined below.

Go-fuzz support

OSS-Fuzz supports go-fuzz in the libFuzzer compatible mode only. In that mode, fuzz targets for Go use the libFuzzer engine with native Go coverage instrumentation. Binaries compiled in this mode provide the same libFuzzer command line interface as non-Go fuzz targets.

Project files

First, you need to write a Go fuzz target that accepts a stream of bytes and calls the program API with that. This fuzz target should reside in your project repository (example).

The structure of the project directory in OSS-Fuzz repository doesn't differ for projects written in Go. The project files have the following Go specific aspects.

project.yaml

The language attribute must be specified.

language: go

The only supported fuzzing engine and sanitizer are libfuzzer and address, respectively. Example:

fuzzing_engines:
  - libfuzzer
sanitizers:
  - address

Dockerfile

The OSS-Fuzz builder image has the latest stable release of Golang installed. In order to install dependencies of your project, add RUN go get ... command to your Dockerfile. Example:

# Dependency for one of the fuzz targets.
RUN go get github.com/ianlancetaylor/demangle

build.sh

In order to build a Go fuzz target, you need to call go-fuzz command first, and then link the resulting .a file against $LIB_FUZZING_ENGINE using the $CXX $CXXFLAGS ... command. Example:

function compile_fuzzer {
  path=$1
  function=$2
  fuzzer=$3

  # Compile and instrument all Go files relevant to this fuzz target.
  go-fuzz -func $function -o $fuzzer.a $path

  # Link Go code ($fuzzer.a) with fuzzing engine to produce fuzz target binary.
  $CXX $CXXFLAGS $LIB_FUZZING_ENGINE $fuzzer.a -o $OUT/$fuzzer
}
