TL;DR
This paper explores hardware fuzzing as a method to detect memory safety vulnerabilities in hardware systems, addressing challenges and proposing future research directions.
Contribution
It is the first to evaluate hardware fuzzing effectiveness for hardware memory vulnerability detection and discusses key challenges and future research avenues.
Findings
Hardware fuzzing can effectively identify memory vulnerabilities.
Significant challenges remain in hardware fuzzing implementation.
Future research can improve hardware fuzzing techniques.
Abstract
Hardware-level memory vulnerabilities severely threaten computing systems. However, hardware patching is inefficient or difficult postfabrication. We investigate the effectiveness of hardware fuzzing in detecting hardware memory vulnerabilities and highlight challenges and potential future research directions to enhance hardware fuzzing for memory safety.
