High-performance directional fuzzing scheme based on deep reinforcement learning by Tian XIAO, Zhihao JIANG, Peng TANG, Zheng HUANG, Jie GUO, Weidong QIU

“…With the continuous growth and advancement of the Internet and information technology, continuous growth and advancement of the Internet and information technology.Nevertheless, these applications’ vulnerabilities pose a severe threat to information security and users’ privacy.Fuzzing was widely used as one of the main tools for automatic vulnerability detection due to its ease of vulnerability recurrence and low false positive errors.It generates test cases randomly and executes the application by optimization in terms of coverage or sample generation to detect deeper program paths.However, the mutation operation in fuzzing is blind and tends to make the generated test cases execute the same program path.Consequently, traditional fuzzing tests have problems such as low efficiency, high randomness of inputs generation and limited pertinence of the program structure.To address these problems, a directional fuzzing based on deep reinforcement learning was proposed, which used deep reinforcement learning networks with information obtained by staking program to guide the selection of the inputs.Besides, it enabled fast approximation and inspection of the program paths that may exist vulnerabilities.The experimental results showed that the proposed approach had better performance than the popular fuzzing tools such as AFL and AFLGO in terms of vulnerability detection and recurrence on the LAVA-M dataset and real applications like LibPNG and Binutils.Therefore, the approach can provide support for further vulnerability mining and security research.…”

Bypass node non-redundant adding algorithm for crossing-level data transmission in two-dimension reconfigurable cell array by Nai-jin CHEN, Zhi-yong FENG, Jian-hui JIANG

“…As for the problem of hardware task crossing-level data transmission，a preorder traversing backtracking adding_bypass_node (PTBA) algorithm is presented which maintains logic relation among original computing nodes and does not add redundancy nodes based on data flow graph with crossing-level-in-tree(CLIT) and crossing-level-out-tree (CLOT).The pipelined model of partitioning mapping and the quantitative evaluation indexes are presented for the dynamic reconfigurable system.The critical condition of PTBA mapping is proposed.Compared with preorder traversing backtracking no adding_bypass_node (PTBNA) mapping，and under the premise of critical condition，experimental results show PTBA mapping can improve the number of modules，the number of non-original input times and non-original output times，the total execution delay and powers of all partitioning based on the same system architecture and partitioning mapping algorithm.The proposed algorithm obtains the less average execution total cycles by 23.3%(RCA_5×5)，30.5%(RCA_8×8)，and the less average power consumption by 15.7%(RCA_5×5)，18.6%(RCA_8×8) than previous advanced split-push kernel mapping(SPKM).PTBA has rationality and effectiveness.…”
