CASR is a set of tools that allows you to collect crash reports in different
ways. Use casr-core
binary to deal with coredumps. Use casr-san
to analyze
ASAN reports or casr-ubsan
to analyze UBSAN reports. Try casr-gdb
to get
reports from gdb. Use casr-python
to analyze python reports and get report
from Atheris. Use casr-java
to analyze
java reports and get report from
Jazzer. Use casr-js
to analyze JavaScript reports and get report from
Jazzer.js or
jsfuzz.
Use casr-csharp
to analyze C# reports and get report from
Sharpfuzz.
Crash report contains many useful information: severity (like exploitable)
for x86, x86_64, arm32, aarch64, rv32g, rv64g architectures,
OS and package versions, command line, stack trace, register values,
disassembly, and even source code fragment where crash appeared. Reports are
stored in JSON format. casr-cli
is meant to provide TUI for viewing reports
and converting them into SARIF report.
Reports triage (deduplication, clustering) is done by casr-cluster
.
Triage is based on stack trace comparison from gdb-command.
casr-afl
is used to triage crashes found by AFL++
and AFL-based fuzzer Sharpfuzz.
casr-libfuzzer
can triage crashes found by
libFuzzer based fuzzer
(C/C++/go-fuzz/Atheris
/Jazzer/Jazzer.js/
jsfuzz).
casr-dojo
allows to upload new and unique CASR reports to
DefectDojo (available with
dojo
feature).
Explanation of severity classes could be found here. You could take a closer look at usage details here.
LibCASR provides API for parsing stacktraces, collecting crash reports, triaging crashes (deduplication and clustering), and estimating severity of crashes.
It can analyze crashes from different sources:
- AddressSanitizer
- UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer
- Gdb output
and program languages:
- C/C++
- Rust
- Go
- Python
- Java
- JavaScript
- C#
It could be built with exploitable
feature for severity estimation crashes
collected from gdb. To save crash reports as json use serde
feature.
Install runtime dependencies:
$ sudo apt install gdb lsb-release
Install build dependencies when building from source:
$ sudo apt install build-essential clang
Install Rust or update existing Rust installation:
$ rustup update
Download latest Linux 64-bit release or build from source as explained below.
N.B. Current MacOS support is experimental. Some Linux-based code like
exploitable
and casr-gdb
may not properly work. Further contributions are very much
welcomed here.
Build from Git repository:
$ git clone https://github.com/ispras/casr
$ cargo update
$ cargo build --release
Or you may just install Casr from crates.io:
$ cargo install casr
Add dojo
feature if you want to install casr-dojo
(the same for cargo build
):
$ cargo install -F dojo casr
Running in Docker: CASR disables address randomization for better
deduplication and uses ptrace to run GDB. Thus, Docker should be started with
--cap-add=SYS_PTRACE --security-opt seccomp=unconfined
.
Create report from coredump:
$ casr-core -f casr/tests/casr_tests/bin/core.test_destAv -e casr/tests/casr_tests/bin/test_destAv -o destAv.casrep
Create report from AddressSanitizer output:
$ clang++ -fsanitize=address -O0 -g casr/tests/casr_tests/test_asan_df.cpp -o test_asan_df
$ casr-san -o asan.casrep -- ./test_asan_df
Create report from UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer output:
$ clang++ -fsanitize=undefined -O0 -g casr/tests/casr_tests/ubsan/test_ubsan.cpp -o test_ubsan
$ casr-ubsan -i casr/tests/casr_tests/ubsan/input1 -o output -- ./test_ubsan @@
$ casr-cli output
Create report from gdb:
$ casr-gdb -o destAv.gdb.casrep -- casr/tests/casr_tests/bin/test_destAv $(printf 'A%.s' {1..200})
Create report from python:
$ casr-python -o python.casrep -- casr/tests/casr_tests/python/test_casr_python.py
Create report from java:
$ casr-java -o java.casrep -- java casr/tests/casr_tests/java/Test1.java
Create report from JavaScript:
$ casr-js -o js.casrep -- node casr/tests/casr_tests/js/test_casr_js.js
Create report from C#:
$ casr-csharp -o csharp.casrep -- dotnet run --project casr/tests/casr_tests/csharp/test_casr_csharp/test_casr_csharp.csproj
View report:
$ casr-cli casr/tests/casr_tests/casrep/test_clustering_san/load_fuzzer_crash-120697a7f5b87c03020f321c8526adf0f4bcc2dc.casrep
View joint statistics about crash clusters:
$ casr-cli casr_reports
Convert reports to SARIF report:
$ casr-cli --sarif out.sarif --tool libfuzzer --source-root /xlnt casr/tests/casr_tests/casrep/test_clustering_san
Create report for program that reads stdin:
$ casr-san --stdin seed -o san_bin.casrep -- ./san_bin
Deduplicate reports:
$ casr-cluster -d casr/tests/casr_tests/casrep/test_clustering_gdb out-dedup
Cluster reports:
$ casr-cluster -c out-dedup out-cluster

Upload new and unique CASR reports to DefectDojo:
$ echo '[product]' > dojo.toml
$ echo 'name = "xlnt"' >> dojo.toml
$ echo '[engagement]' >> dojo.toml
$ echo "name = \"load_fuzzer $(date -Isec)\"" >> dojo.toml

When you have crashes from fuzzing you may do the following steps:
- Create reports for all crashes via
casr-san
,casr-gdb
(if no sanitizers are present),casr-python
,casr-java
,casr-js
, orcasr-csharp
. - Deduplicate collected crash reports via
casr-cluster -d
. - Cluster deduplicated crash reports via
casr-cluster -c
. - Create reports and deduplicate them for all UBSAN errors via
casr-ubsan
. - View reports from clusters using
casr-cli
or upload them to DefectDojo withcasr-dojo
.
If you use AFL++ or AFL-based
fuzzer Sharpfuzz, the pipeline
(without casr-ubsan
and casr-dojo
) could be done automatically by
casr-afl
.
If you use libFuzzer based fuzzer
(C/C++/go-fuzz/Atheris
/Jazzer/Jazzer.js/
jsfuzz), the pipeline (without casr-ubsan
and casr-dojo
) could be done automatically
by casr-libfuzzer
.
