Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability stems from improper handling of process
context data during OOP JIT compilation. The commit diff shows critical changes in how ProcessContext
(holding Chakra/CRT base addresses) is initialized and validated. The added ConnectProcess
RPC in JITManager.cpp
and modified ServerThreadContext
constructor indicate that pre-patch versions lacked proper safeguards for these values, enabling attackers to supply malicious addresses and bypass CFG protections during memory access operations.
