Release of invalid pointer or reference vulnerability in Samsung Open Source Escargot allows Buffer Manipulation.
This issue affects Escargot: 590345cc6258317c5da850d846ce6baaf2afc2d3.
AnalysisAI
Denial-of-service via invalid pointer dereference in Samsung Open Source Escargot JavaScript engine affects the specific commit 590345cc6258317c5da850d846ce6baaf2afc2d3, allowing a locally-present attacker to crash the runtime through crafted JavaScript. The root cause (CWE-763) involves unconditional dereference of a potentially invalid or null error pointer in the resultOrErrorToString path, triggerable via nested eval/throw/finally patterns that induce GC allocation during exception handling. No public exploit code exists and no CISA KEV listing is present at time of analysis.
Technical ContextAI
Escargot is a lightweight JavaScript engine developed by Samsung Open Source, designed for embedded platforms including smart TVs and appliances (reporter: samsung.tv_appliance). CWE-763 describes the release or use of an invalid memory reference. The primary defect, visible in PR #1565 diff of EscargotPublic.cpp, is that resultOrErrorToString unconditionally casts and dereferences error.value() as a ValueRef* without first validating it - a situation that arises in edge cases where a nested eval with throw inside a finally block triggers a GC allocation, leaving the error slot in an invalid or null state. Secondary fixes in the same PR address a related integer underflow in BuiltinTypedArray.cpp's copyWithin implementation (buffer resize during argument coercion can yield negative values that underflow when cast to size_t), unsafe fast-mode array state assumptions in ByteCodeInterpreter.cpp, coercion-order bugs in DataViewObject.h, and an OOM abort handler in Heap.cpp. CPE cpe:2.3:a:samsung_open_source:escargot:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covers the Samsung Open Source Escargot product line broadly; the advisory narrows the confirmed affected artifact to the named commit.
RemediationAI
The upstream fix is available via GitHub Pull Request #1565 at https://github.com/Samsung/escargot/pull/1565. A versioned, tagged release incorporating this fix has not been independently confirmed - the patch exists as an upstream PR/commit only, and no released patched version is cited in the advisory. Organizations embedding Escargot should update their Escargot dependency to a commit at or after the merge of PR #1565 and rebuild affected firmware or application packages. As a compensating control prior to patching, restrict the Escargot runtime from executing untrusted or externally-supplied JavaScript; in Samsung appliance contexts this may mean disabling or sandboxing user-accessible scripting surfaces. No additional vendor advisory URL is available beyond the GitHub PR reference.
