ARVO: Atlas of Reproducible Vulnerabilities for Open-Source Software

This is the official Hugging Face dataset repository for ARVO, a dataset of real-world software vulnerabilities derived from OSS-Fuzz and prepared for reproduction and analysis.

• Current release: v3.0.0, containing 6,138 cases
• Paper: ARVO: Atlas of Reproducible Vulnerabilities for Open-Source Software
• Project and documentation: n132/ARVO
• Dataset source and releases: n132/ARVO-Meta
• Reproduction environments: ARVO Docker images

Contents

The current release is distributed as arvo.db, a SQLite database. Its arvo table has one row per case, identified by localId. Fields include the project, fuzz target, sanitizer, crash type and output, reproduction commands, and information about the located fix.

The reproduction commands refer to Docker images hosted separately; the images are not contained in this repository.

The archive_data/ directory in the GitHub repository is retained for the older issue tracker and is not the current dataset release. For current cases, use arvo.db from v3.0.0 or a later release.

Quick start

Download arvo.db, then query it with SQLite or Python:

import sqlite3

connection = sqlite3.connect("arvo.db")
rows = connection.execute(
    """
    SELECT localId, project, fuzz_target, sanitizer, crash_type,
           reproducer_vul, reproducer_fix
    FROM arvo
    LIMIT 5
    """
)

for row in rows:
    print(row)

To reproduce a case, inspect its reproducer_vul and reproducer_fix fields and follow the ARVO instructions. Reproduction requires the corresponding Docker image and a suitable Docker environment.

Provenance and limitations

ARVO builds on vulnerability information from OSS-Fuzz. ARVO contributes the dataset construction and reproduction workflow, including vulnerable and fixed environments and located patches. The underlying project source code belongs to its respective upstream projects.

A recorded fix or reproduction result should be interpreted in the context of the dataset version and environment. Consult the case fields and the paper before using a case as ground truth for an evaluation.
