摘 要：

hybrid testing combines fuzz testing and concolic execution. it leverages fuzz testing to test easy-to-reach code regions and uses concolic execution to explore code blocks guarded by complex branch conditions. as a result, hybrid testing is able to reach deeper into program state space than fuzz testing or concolic execution alone. recently, hybrid testing has seen significant advancement. however, its code coverage-centric design is inefficient in vulnerability detection. we propose savior, a new hybrid testing framework pioneering a bug-driven principle. unlike the existing hybrid testing tools, savior prioritizes the concolic execution of the seeds that are likely to uncover more vulnerabilities. moreover, savior verifies all vulnerable program locations along the executing program path. by modeling faulty situations using smt constraints, savior reasons the feasibility of vulnerabilities and generates concrete test cases as proofs. our evaluation shows that the bug-driven approach outperforms mainstream automated testing techniques, including state-of-the-art hybrid testing systems driven by code coverage. on average, savior detects vulnerabilities 43.4% faster than driller and 44.3% faster than qsym, leading to the discovery of 88 and 76 more unique bugs, respectively. according to the evaluation on 11 well fuzzed benchmark programs, within the first 24 hours, savior triggers 481 ubsan violations, among which 243 are real bugs.
