## Introduction
[Fuzz testing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuzz_testing) is a well-known
technique for uncovering various kinds of programming errors in software.
Many of these detectable errors (e.g. [buffer overflow](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffer_overflow)) can have serious security implications.
We successfully deployed
[guided in-process fuzzing of Chrome components](https://security.googleblog.com/2016/08/guided-in-process-fuzzing-of-chrome.html)
and found [hundreds](https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/list?can=1&q=label%3AStability-LibFuzzer+-status%3ADuplicate%2CWontFix) of security vulnerabilities and stability bugs. We now want to share the experience and the service with the open source community.
In cooperation with the [Core Infrastructure Initiative](https://www.coreinfrastructure.org/),
OSS-Fuzz aims to make common open source software more secure and stable by
combining modern fuzzing techniques and scalable
distributed execution.
At the first stage of the project we use
[libFuzzer](http://llvm.org/docs/LibFuzzer.html) with
[Sanitizers](https://github.com/google/sanitizers). More fuzzing engines will be added later.
[ClusterFuzz](docs/clusterfuzz.md)
provides distributed fuzzer execution environment and reporting.
Currently OSS-Fuzz supports C and C++ code (other languages supported by [LLVM](http://llvm.org) may work too).
## Process Overview
The following process is used for projects in OSS-Fuzz:
- A maintainer of an opensource project or an outside volunteer creates
one or more [fuzz targets](http://libfuzzer.info/#fuzz-target)
and [integrates](docs/ideal_integration.md) them with the project's build and test system.
- The project is [accepted to OSS-Fuzz](#accepting-new-projects).
- When [ClusterFuzz](docs/clusterfuzz.md) finds a bug, an issue is automatically
reported in the OSS-Fuzz [issue tracker](https://bugs.chromium.org/p/oss-fuzz/issues/list)
([example](https://bugs.chromium.org/p/oss-fuzz/issues/detail?id=9)).
([Why different tracker?](docs/faq.md#why-do-you-use-a-different-issue-tracker-for-reporting-bugs-in-oss-projects)).
Project owners are CC-ed to the bug report.
- The bug is fixed upstream.
- [ClusterFuzz](docs/clusterfuzz.md) automatically verifies the fix, adds a comment and closes the issue ([example](https://bugs.chromium.org/p/oss-fuzz/issues/detail?id=53#c3)).
- 7 days after the fix is verified or 90 days after reporting, the issue becomes *public*
([guidelines](#bug-disclosure-guidelines)).

## Accepting New Projects
To be accepted to OSS-Fuzz, an open-source project must
have a significant user base and/or be critical to the global IT infrastructure.
To submit a new project:
- [Create a pull request](https://help.github.com/articles/creating-a-pull-request/) with new
`projects/<project_name>/project.yaml` file ([example](projects/libarchive/project.yaml)) giving at least the following information:
* project homepage.
* e-mail of the engineering contact person to be CCed on new issues. This
email should be
[linked to a Google Account](https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/176347?hl=en)
([why?](docs/faq.md#why-we-require-an-e-mail-associated-with-a-google-account))
and belong to an established project committer (according to VCS logs).
If this is not you or the email address differs from VCS, an informal e-mail verification will be required.
* Note that `project_name` can only contain alphanumeric characters, underscores(_) or dashes(-).
- Once accepted by an OSS-Fuzz project member, follow the [New Project Guide](docs/new_project_guide.md)
to write the code.
## Bug Disclosure Guidelines
Following [Google's standard disclosure policy](https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2015/02/feedback-and-data-driven-updates-to.html)
OSS-Fuzz will adhere to following disclosure principles:
- **90-day deadline**. After notifying project authors, we will open reported
issues in 90 days, or 7 days after the fix is released.
- **Weekends and holidays**. If a deadline is due to expire on a weekend or
US public holiday, the deadline will be moved to the next normal work day.
- **Grace period**. We have a 14-day grace period. If a 90-day deadline
expires but the upstream engineers let us know before the deadline that a
patch is scheduled for release on a specific day within 14 days following
the deadline, the public disclosure will be delayed until the availability
of the patch.

* [Glossary](docs/glossary.md) describes the common terms used in OSS-Fuzz.
* [New Project Guide](docs/new_project_guide.md) walks through the steps necessary to add new projects to OSS-Fuzz.
* [Ideal Integration](docs/ideal_integration.md) describes the steps to integrate fuzz targets with your project.
* [Fuzzer execution environment](docs/fuzzer_environment.md) documents the
environment under which your fuzzers will be run.
* [Projects](projects) lists OSS projects currently added to OSS-Fuzz.
* [Chrome's Efficient Fuzzer Guide](https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/testing/libfuzzer/+/HEAD/efficient_fuzzer.md)
while contains some chrome-specifics, is an excellent documentation on making your fuzzer better.
