Exploitation Summary

EIP tracks 1 public exploit for CVE-2017-11799. PoCs published by Google Security Research.

AI-analyzed exploit summary This PoC exploits a bug in ChakraCore's JIT compiler where a StSuperFld instruction's Src2 is not freed before bailout, leading to incorrect x86-64 assembly generation. The resulting 'inc r13' instruction disrupts execution flow, potentially enabling arbitrary code execution.

Description

ChakraCore and Microsoft Edge in Microsoft Windows 10 Gold, 1511, 1607, 1703, and Windows Server 2016 allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user, due to how the scripting engine handles objects in memory, aka "Scripting Engine Memory Corruption Vulnerability".
