Microsoft Edge Chakra JIT BoundFunction::NewInstance Bug
Posted by deepcore on July 13, 2018 – 10:55 pm
Microsoft Edge Chakra JIT suffers from a bug. BoundFunction::NewInstance is used to handle calls to a bound function. The method first allocates a new argument array and copies the prepended arguments and others into the new argument array and calls the actual function. The problem is, it doesn’t care about the CallFlags_NewTarget flag which indicates that there’s an extra argument (new.target) at the end of the argument array. So the size of the new argument array created with the CallFlags_NewTarget flag will be always 1 less then required, this leads to an out-of-bounds read.
