A Deterministic Memory Allocator for Dynamic Symbolic Execution

Authors: Daniel Schemmel, Julian Büning, Frank Busse, Martin Nowack, and Cristian Cadar

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 222, 36th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2022)

Abstract
Dynamic symbolic execution (DSE) has established itself as an effective testing and analysis technique. While the memory model in DSE has attracted significant attention, the memory allocator has been largely ignored, despite its significant influence on DSE. In this paper, we discuss the different ways in which the memory allocator can influence DSE and the main design principles that a memory allocator for DSE needs to follow: support for external calls, cross-run and cross-path determinism, spatially and temporally distanced allocations, and stability. We then present KDAlloc, a deterministic allocator for DSE that is guided by these six design principles. We implement KDAlloc in KLEE, a popular DSE engine, and first show that it is competitive with KLEE’s default allocator in terms of performance and memory overhead, and in fact significantly improves performance in several cases. We then highlight its benefits for use-after-free error detection and two distinct DSE-based techniques: MoKlee, a system for saving DSE runs to disk and later (partially) restoring them, and SymLive, a system for finding infinite-loop bugs.

Bringing CP, SAT and SMT together: Next Challenges in Constraint Solving (Dagstuhl Seminar 19062)

Authors: Sébastien Bardin, Nikolaj Bjørner, and Cristian Cadar

Published in: Dagstuhl Reports, Volume 9, Issue 2 (2019)

Abstract
This report documents the program and the outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar 19062 "Bringing CP, SAT and SMT together: Next Challenges in Constraint Solving", whose main goals were to bring together leading researchers in the different subfields of automated reasoning and constraint solving, foster greater communication between these communities and exchange ideas about new research directions. Constraint solving is at the heart of several key technologies, including program analysis, testing, formal methods, compilers, security analysis, optimization, and AI. During the last two decades, constraint solving has been highly successful and transformative: on the one hand, SAT/SMT solvers have seen a significant performance improvement with a concomitant impact on software engineering, formal methods and security; on the other hand, CP solvers have also seen a dramatic performance improvement, with deep impact in AI and optimization. These successes bring new applications together with new challenges, not yet met by any current technology. The seminar brought together researchers from SAT, SMT and CP along with application researchers in order to foster cross-fertilization of ideas, deepen interactions, identify the best ways to serve the application fields and in turn help improve the solvers for specific domains.
