 [`process_message`](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/test/fuzz/process_message.cpp) is a fuzzing harness for the [`ProcessMessage(...)` function (`net_processing`)](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/net_processing.cpp). The available fuzzing harnesses are found in [`src/test/fuzz/`](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/tree/master/src/test/fuzz).

 In this case the fuzzer managed to create a `block` message which when passed to `ProcessMessage(...)` increased coverage.
 
+## Fuzzing corpora

 The project's collection of seed corpora is found in the [`bitcoin-core/qa-assets`](https://github.com/bitcoin-core/qa-assets) repo.

+## Reproduce a fuzzer crash reported by the CI
+
+- `cd` into the `qa-assets` directory and update it with `git pull qa-assets`
+- locate the crash case described in the CI output, e.g. `Test unit written to
+  ./crash-1bc91feec9fc00b107d97dc225a9f2cdaa078eb6`
+- make sure to compile with all sanitizers, if they are needed (fuzzing runs
+  more slowly with sanitizers enabled, but a crash should be reproducible very
+  quickly from a crash case)
+- run the fuzzer with the case number appended to the seed corpus path:
+  `FUZZ=process_message src/test/fuzz/fuzz
+  qa-assets/fuzz_seed_corpus/process_message/1bc91feec9fc00b107d97dc225a9f2cdaa078eb6`

+## Submit improved coverage
+
 If you find coverage increasing inputs when fuzzing you are highly encouraged to submit them for inclusion in the [`bitcoin-core/qa-assets`](https://github.com/bitcoin-core/qa-assets) repo.
 
 Every single pull request submitted against the Bitcoin Core repo is automatically tested against all inputs in the [`bitcoin-core/qa-assets`](https://github.com/bitcoin-core/qa-assets) repo. Contributing new coverage increasing inputs is an easy way to help make Bitcoin Core more robust.
