alsa-project/alsa-lib issue #37 was opened from tysonite:
I was playing around with [AFL](https://fuzzing-project.org/tutorial3.html) tonight on one of my pet projects. And after it found few crashes, I've decided to fuzz one of open-source projects. The `alsatplg` tool just looked simple enough to exercise it with fuzzing tool.
I made a simple Dockerfile that runs AFL on `alsatplg`: ``` FROM ubuntu:18.04
ENV LANG C.UTF-8
RUN apt-get update && \ apt-get install -y apt-utils && \ apt-get install -y afl git build-essential m4 autoconf automake libtool
RUN cd /
RUN git clone https://github.com/alsa-project/alsa-lib.git RUN cd alsa-lib && \ libtoolize --force --copy --automake && \ aclocal && \ autoheader && \ automake --foreign --copy --add-missing && \ autoconf && \ export CFLAGS="-O2 -Wall -W -Wunused-const-variable=0 -pipe -g" && \ export CC=afl-gcc && \ ./configure --disable-aload && \ make && \ make install \ && cd /
RUN apt-get install -y gettext ncurses-base libncurses5 libncurses5-dev pkg-config RUN git clone https://github.com/alsa-project/alsa-utils.git RUN cd alsa-utils && \ export CC=afl-gcc && \ ./gitcompile && \ make install && \ cd /
RUN mkdir in
#RUN cp alsa-utils/speaker-test/samples/Noise.wav in RUN echo "Hello" > in/input.txt
CMD ["afl-fuzz", "-i", "in", "-o", "out", "alsatplg", "-c", "@@", "-o", "/output"] ```
After around 10-15 minutes running on my core i7 laptop, it generated a sequence of bytes that leads to crash. If you want to try it by yourself just run `docker build -t alsa/dev .` followed by `docker run alsa/dev`, and wait a bit. When crash happened, the input data can be copied from the container by running `docker cp <container_id>:/out .`.
An example of input data that lead to SIGSEGV: [id:000000,sig:11,src:000325,op:arith8,pos:48,val:-26.txt](https://github.com/alsa-project/alsa-lib/files/4330943/id.000000.sig.11.src....)
And stack trace based on it: ``` Using host libthread_db library "/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libthread_db.so.1". Core was generated by `alsatplg -c out/crashes/id:000000,sig:11,src:000325,op:arith8,pos:48,val:-26 -o'.
