Descriptions

Microsoft Edge in Microsoft Windows 10 Gold, 1511, 1607, and 1703, and Windows Server 2016 allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user when the JavaScript engine fails to render when handling objects in memory in Microsoft Edge, aka "Scripting Engine Memory Corruption Vulnerability". This CVE ID is unique from CVE-2017-8596, CVE-2017-8610, CVE-2017-8618, CVE-2017-8619, CVE-2017-8603, CVE-2017-8604, CVE-2017-8605, CVE-2017-8606, CVE-2017-8607, CVE-2017-8608, CVE-2017-8598 and CVE-2017-8609.

Microsoft Edge en Microsoft Windows 10 versiones Gold, 1511, 1607 y 1703, y Windows Server 2016, permiten que un atacante ejecute código arbitrario en el contexto del usuario actual cuando el motor de JavaScript no se procesa mientras se manejan objetos en la memoria en Microsoft Edge, también se conoce como "Scripting Engine Memory Corruption Vulnerability". Este ID de CVE es diferente de los CVE-2017-8596, CVE-2017-8610, CVE-2017-8618, CVE-2017-8619, CVE-2017-8603, CVE-2017-8604, CVE-2017-8605, CVE- 2017-8606, CVE-2017-8607, CVE-2017-8608, CVE-2017-8598 y CVE-2017-8609.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Microsoft Windows. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within the handling of arrays in JavaScript. By performing actions in JavaScript an attacker can trigger a type confusion condition. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code under the context of the current process.

Yet another finding that the fix for an incorrect jit optimization with TypedArray setter in Microsoft Edge Chakra may not be sufficient.
