Full Changelog: v0.8...v0.9

v0.8

🌟 Features

/

✨ Improvements

• Fuzzer / QEMU:
  Dump snapshot metadata into $WORKDIR/snapshot/state.yml, and parse that file on fuzzer shutdown to update it's own IP filters configuration. (see kafl.fuzzer#68, kafl.qemu#10)

  This avoids having to pass IP filters through the hprintf channel, parse logs and extract them on the host, to send them again to kafl cov for coverage.

🔧 Fixes

• Security fixes (#215, #217)
• Switch QEMU revision pinning to a tag instead of a branch (#214)
• kafl.targets: simplify linux kernel tutorial and use predefined load path for kAFL configuration (kafl.targets#23)
• examples role
  • fix shell used to unpacking GPG key (#233)
  • install missing qemu-system-x86 package (#234)
  • disable cloning submodules (#256)
• libxdc/QEMU: fix regression observed with the 6.0 Nyx kernel (#253) (thanks @schumilo !)
• CI: upgrade docs workflow to Python 3.9 (#255)

📖 Documentation

v0.5

This release marks the adoption of Ansible as a new deployment/installation tool for kAFL.

It brings multiple benefits, such as:

• more reliability and readability in the installation process
• automated remote deployment on multiple servers
• modularization and reuse with kAFL managed as an Ansible collection
• deployment CI checks on Github Actions to ensure a stable master

v0.4

This release brings more clarity in the repository management.

• kafl.fuzzer repository now contains the Python fuzzer frontend (migrated from kAFL old master branch)
• kAFL's workspace branch has been moved to kAFL's master branch, and is now deprecated.
• This is the last release before a migration from west to Ansible for deployment and sub-repositories management

v0.2

Cleaning up kAFL branches.

Removing kafl_v0.2 and creating a release from that branch instead.

v0.1

Cleanup kAFL branches.

Removing legacy branch and creating a release from that branch instead.
