Abstract

Compared with the macrokernel, the microkernel operating system has higher kernel stability and security because the microkernel only includes the key parts of the operating system such as memory management. But once there is a bug with the microkernel, it will affect the entire operating system. In order to improve the security and stability of the microkernel operating system, this paper proposes a fuzzing scheme for the microkernel based on the relationship between system calls. The scheme deeply analyzes the correlation between system calls in the microkernel based on static analysis. Then the generation process of subsequent test cases is guided by the correlation. Finally, this paper conducts experimental analysis on the scheme to verify the correctness and effectiveness of the scheme.
