Introduction
|
||
|
============
|
||
|
|
||
|
DataFlowSanitizer is a generalised dynamic data flow analysis.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Unlike other Sanitizer tools, this tool is not designed to detect a
|
||
|
specific class of bugs on its own. Instead, it provides a generic
|
||
|
dynamic data flow analysis framework to be used by clients to help
|
||
|
detect application-specific issues within their own code.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Usage
|
||
|
=====
|
||
|
|
||
|
With no program changes, applying DataFlowSanitizer to a program
|
||
|
will not alter its behavior. To use DataFlowSanitizer, the program
|
||
|
uses API functions to apply tags to data to cause it to be tracked, and to
|
||
|
check the tag of a specific data item. DataFlowSanitizer manages
|
||
|
the propagation of tags through the program according to its data flow.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The APIs are defined in the header file ``sanitizer/dfsan_interface.h``.
|
||
|
For further information about each function, please refer to the header
|
||
|
file.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Example
|
||
|
=======
|
||
|
|
||
|
The following program demonstrates label propagation by checking that
|
||
|
the correct labels are propagated.
|
||
|
|
||
|
.. code-block:: c++
|
||
|
|
||
|
#include <sanitizer/dfsan_interface.h>
|
||
|
#include <assert.h>
|
||
|
|
||
|
int main(void) {
|
||
|
int i = 1;
|
||
|
dfsan_label i_label = dfsan_create_label("i", 0);
|
||
|
dfsan_set_label(i_label, &i, sizeof(i));
|
||
|
|
||
|
int j = 2;
|
||
|
dfsan_label j_label = dfsan_create_label("j", 0);
|
||
|
dfsan_set_label(j_label, &j, sizeof(j));
|
||
|
|
||
|
int k = 3;
|
||
|
dfsan_label k_label = dfsan_create_label("k", 0);
|
||
|
dfsan_set_label(k_label, &k, sizeof(k));
|
||
|
|
||
|
dfsan_label ij_label = dfsan_get_label(i + j);
|
||
|
assert(dfsan_has_label(ij_label, i_label));
|
||
|
assert(dfsan_has_label(ij_label, j_label));
|
||
|
assert(!dfsan_has_label(ij_label, k_label));
|
||
|
|
||
|
dfsan_label ijk_label = dfsan_get_label(i + j + k);
|
||
|
assert(dfsan_has_label(ijk_label, i_label));
|
||
|
assert(dfsan_has_label(ijk_label, j_label));
|
||
|
assert(dfsan_has_label(ijk_label, k_label));
|
||
|
|
||
|
return 0;
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
|
||
|
Current status
|
||
|
==============
|
||
|
|
||
|
DataFlowSanitizer is a work in progress, currently under development for
|
||
|
x86\_64 Linux.
|
||
|
|
||
|
