Popis: Uncontrolled heap memory consumption, a kind of critical software vulnerability, is utilized by attackers to consume a large amount of heap memory and consequently trigger crashes. There have been few works on the vulnerability fuzzing of heap consumption. Most of them, such as MemLock and PerfFuzz, have failed to consider the influence of data flow. We proposed a heap memory consumption guided fuzzing model named MemConFuzz. It extracts the locations of heap operations and data-dependent functions through static data flow analysis. Based on the data dependency, we proposed a seed selection algorithm in fuzzing to assign more energy to the samples with higher priority scores. The experiment results showed that the MemConFuzz has advantages over AFL, MemLock, and PerfFuzz with more quantity and less time consumption in exploiting the vulnerability of heap memory consumption.
