NetBSD

Instructions to set up syzkaller for a Linux Host and an amd64 NetBSD kernel.

Setup the NetBSD sources

  1. Get the NetBSD kernel source (preferably HEAD).

    $ mdkir $HOME/netbsd
$ cd $HOME/netbsd
$ git clone https://github.com/NetBSD/src.git

  2. Build the tools (You will have the toolchain in $HOME/netbsd/tools)

    $ cd src
$ ./build.sh -m amd64 -U -T ../tools tools

  3. Build the Distribution (This might take a while)

    $ ./build.sh -m amd64 -U -T ../tools -D ../dest distribution

At this point you should have a NetBSD distribution at $HOME/netbsd/dest.

Installing and building Syzkaller on Linux Host

  1. Install all the dependencies for Syzkaller (Go distribution can be downloaded from https://golang.org/dl/)

  2. Clone the Syzkaller Repository

    $ go get -u -d github.com/google/syzkaller/.. 
$ cd ~/go/src/github.com/google/syzkaller

  3. Compile Syzkaller for NetBSD

    $ make TARGETOS=netbsd SOURCEDIR=$HOME/netbsd/src

The above steps should have built the Syzkaller binaries for NetBSD.

You can see the compiled binaries in bin/netbsd_amd64.

Setting up a NetBSD VM with qemu

You can use the script given here to create a disk image with NetBSD installed. The script would also automatically give you a ssh key to ssh into the VM.

Alternatively, You can follow the tutorial given here to setup a basic NetBSD VM with qemu.

After installing and running the NetBSD VM on qemu please follow the steps below to configure ssh.

  1. Create a ssh-keypair on the host and save it as netbsdkey.

    $ ssh-keygen -f netbsdkey -t rsa -N ""

  2. Append the following lines to /etc/rc.conf on the guest. (use vi editor)

    sshd=YES
dhcpcd=YES
ifconfig_wm0="inet 10.0.2.15 netmask 255.255.255.0"

  3. Append this to /etc/ssh/sshd_config on the guest.

    Port 22
ListenAddress 10.0.2.15
PermitRootLogin yes
PermitRootLogin without-password

  4. Now you should be able to ssh into the netbsd VM.

    $ ssh -p 10022 [email protected]

  5. Copy and paste your public key to /root/.ssh/authorized_keys on the guest and reboot the VM.

  6. After reboot make sure that the ssh is working properly. Replace the port with what you have configured.

    $ ssh -i path/to/netbsdkey -p 10022 [email protected]

If the last command returns a proper shell it means the VM has been configured.

Compiling a NetBSD kernel (Optional)

You can compile a kernel with KASAN to increase the chances of finding bugs.

  1. Make a copy of the config file

    $ cd $HOME/netbsd/src
$ cp sys/arch/amd64/conf/GENERIC sys/arch/amd64/conf/SYZKALLER

  2. Uncomment the following lines in sys/arch/amd64/conf/SYZKALLER to enable KASAN

    #makeoptions 	KASAN=1		# Kernel Address Sanitizer
#options 	KASAN
#no options	SVS

  3. Compile the kernel with KASAN (Assuming you have followed the inital steps to build tools)

    $ cd $HOME/netbsd/src
$ ./build.sh -m amd64 -U -T ../tools -j4 kernel=SYZKALLER

  4. At this point you should have the new compiled kernel image which can be found in $HOME/netbsd/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/SYZKALLER and should have the name netbsd. You need to copy it to the installed VM and reboot the VM.

Running Syzkaller

  1. If all of the above worked, poweroff the VM and create netbsd.cfg config file with the following contents (alter paths as necessary): 
    {
	"name": "netbsd",
	"target": "netbsd/amd64",
	"http": ":10000",
	"workdir": "work",
	"syzkaller": "$GOPATH/src/github.com/google/syzkaller",
	"image": "path/to/netbsd.img",
	"sshkey": "/path/to/netbsdkey",
	"sandbox": "none",
	"procs": 2,
	"cover": false,
	"type": "qemu",
	"vm": {
		"qemu": "qemu-system-x86_64",
		"count": 2,
		"cpu": 2,
		"mem": 2048
	}
}

(Above directories have to be specified to the exact locations and the ssh keys must be in a separate directory with chmod 700 permissions set to that directory and chmod 600 permissions to the files in both the guest and the host.)

  1. Then, start syz-manager with: (Inside the syzkaller folder where the netbsd.cfg file also exists) 
    $ bin/syz-manager -config netbsd.cfg

(You can add a -debug flag to the above command to view the log if any issues arise.)

  1. Once syzkaller has started executing, it should start printing output along the lines of: 
    booting test machines...
wait for the connection from test machine...
machine check: 253 calls enabled, kcov=true, kleakcheck=false, faultinjection=false, comps=false
executed 3622, cover 1219, crashes 0, repro 0
executed 7921, cover 1239, crashes 0, repro 0
executed 32807, cover 1244, crashes 0, repro 0
executed 35803, cover 1248, crashes 0, repro 0

syzbot

syzbot tests NetBSD and reports bugs to syzkaller-netbsd-bugs mailing list (also can be seen on dashboard).

The image syzbot uses can be downloaded from here (2GB) and root ssh key from here.

The image can be used with qemu as follows:

qemu-system-x86_64 -m 1024 -smp 2 -nographic -enable-kvm \
	-netdev user,id=mynet0,hostfwd=tcp:127.0.0.1:10022-:22 \
	-device e1000,netdev=mynet0 -hda netbsd-image.raw

And then you can ssh/scp into the VM using:

ssh -i netbsd-image.key -p 10022 -o IdentitiesOnly=yes root@localhost
scp -i netbsd-image.key -P 10022 -o IdentitiesOnly=yes FILE root@localhost:/root/

Note: the image contains a stock kernel, so if you are reproducing a bug most likely you want to update kernel as the first step:

scp -i netbsd-image.key -P 10022 -o IdentitiesOnly=yes \
	src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/obj/GENERIC_SYZKALLER/netbsd root@localhost:/netbsd
ssh -i netbsd-image.key -p 10022 -o IdentitiesOnly=yes root@localhost /sbin/reboot

Missing things

  • Automating the configuation changes (like appending to config files), generating the json config file on the fly (with customizable values to the keys using command line parameters) and calling syz-manager with anita using just a single command.
  • System call descriptions. sys/netbsd/*.txt is a dirty copy from sys/linux/*.txt with everything that does not compile dropped. We need to go through syscalls and verify/fix/extend them, including devices/ioctls/etc.
  • Currently only amd64 arch is supported. Supporting 386 would be useful, because it should cover compat paths. Also, we could do testing of the linux-compatibility subsystem.
  • pkg/host needs to be taught how to detect supported syscalls/devices.
  • On Linux we have emission of exernal networking/USB traffic into kernel using tun/gadgetfs. Implementing these for NetBSD could uncover a number of high-profile bugs.
