LibFuzzer: Corpus minification fails if corpus path contains whitespace

[nausicaea]

I originally opened this issue on the cargo-fuzz repository: cargo-fuzz #428, and one of the contributors suggested that this might be a bug in LibFuzzer itself.

Please let me know if I can be of assistance.

When trying to minify the corpus of a fuzzing target, spaces in paths are not properly escaped.

$ cargo fuzz --version
cargo-fuzz 0.13.1
# I am running this test on an Apple M1 (Sequoia 15.7.1) with case-insensitive APFS.

The paragraph below shows the error I'm getting when running the poc.sh script in my repo. At cargo-fuzz-poc I've created a minimal working example of the issue for verification. An additional issue I'm seeing is: if the corpus contains multiple files, cargo +nightly fuzz cmin parse_cbor runs into an infinite loop, and I have to kill the processes. Furthermore, I cannot reproduce the same behaviour in fuzzing mode (cargo +nightly fuzz run parse_cbor): there whitespace in paths doesn't seem to matter.

I'm willing to provide additional information, should you require anything.
