dc.description.abstractTo exhaustively test a program, we need inputs that the program does not reject. Such valid inputs must satisfy syntactic and semantic constraints of the input language. Grammar-based fuzzers efficiently produce syntactically valid system inputs but miss context-sensitive semantic constraints. Example semantic properties are length fields or checksums in binary inputs or definition-use constraints for variables in programming languages. We introduce ISLa [SZ22a], a declarative specification language for context-sensitive properties of structured system inputs. An ISLa specification, or input invariant, consists of a context-free grammar and a potentially context-sensitive ISLa constraint. Our ISLa fuzzer produces streams of inputs from invariants. We show that a few ISLa constraints suffice to generate diverse and 100% semantically valid inputs. Additionally, the fuzzer can repair and—preserving semantics—mutate inputs. Provided sample inputs, a program property, or both, our ISLearn prototype mines precise invariants. In follow-up work, we used ISLearn for diagnosing failures: “The heartbleed vulnerability is triggered if length exceeds the length of payload.”en
