Various forms of fuzzing techniques that search for vulnerabilities in software programs have been around for several decades, but it can a tedious task, especially when looking at an entire enterprise application. Earlier this week, Zero Day Initiative (ZDI) vulnerability researcher Abdul-Aziz Hariri published a blog detailing how to fuzz the image conversion feature of Foxit Reader without fuzzing the entire application. He goes into detail on why fuzzing components of an application separately is definitely a time saver, and how it can make case analysis easier to manage. The techniques covered can be applied to other software as well. In fact, ZDI researchers have implemented something similar for the Windows PDF Library that helps the team analyze cases faster, rather than going through Microsoft Edge. For a detailed analysis and demo on how this works, you can read the blog here.
