CVE-2017-7813: Incorrect Type Cast
First published: Thu Sep 28 2017(Updated: )
Inside the JavaScript parser, a cast of an integer to a narrower type can result in data read from outside the buffer being parsed. This usually results in a non-exploitable crash, but can leak a limited amount of information from memory if it matches JavaScript identifier syntax.
