Frequently Asked Questions

1

Who is exposed to this issue?

Linux x86-64 deployments of Samsung Open Source Escargot at commit 5dc93606abd42b859045add05d704a038e197359 are affected when they execute attacker-supplied JavaScript.

2

What does an attacker need to exploit it?

The attacker must be able to supply JavaScript that the affected Escargot instance will execute. Exploitation uses a crafted class definition with more instance initialization entries than UINT16_MAX.

3

What is the practical impact?

The numeric truncation causes an out-of-bounds native-memory write. An attacker can corrupt native memory and crash the host process.

4

How can I determine whether an environment may be affected?

Check whether the deployment runs Escargot on Linux x86-64 and whether untrusted parties can provide JavaScript for execution. Also compare the Escargot source revision in use against commit 5dc93606abd42b859045add05d704a038e197359.
