Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability stems from improper handling of memory operations in ChakraCore's JIT optimization passes. The commits show critical fixes in symbol tracking (BackwardPass
), array buffer state management (GlobOpt
), and property key conversion (JavascriptConversion
). These functions directly relate to memory safety mechanisms - incorrect tracking of symbols/array states or type confusion in property keys could lead to the described out-of-bounds write vulnerability. The high-confidence assessment comes from the direct correlation between the patched logic and CWE-787 exploitation vectors.
