Frequently Asked Questions

Why do you use a different issue tracker for reporting bugs in OSS projects?

Security access control is important for the kind of issues that OSS-Fuzz detects. We will reconsider github issue tracker once the access control feature is available.

Why we require an e-mail associated with a Google account?

The issue tracker uses Google accounts for authentication. Note that any e-mail address can be associated with a Google account.

Why do you use Docker?

Building fuzzers requires building your project with a fresh Clang compiler and special compiler flags. An easy-to-use Docker image is provided to simplify toolchain distribution. This also limits our exposure to a multitude of Linux varieties and provides a reproducible and secure environment for fuzzer building and execution.
