Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

How this class of weakness works · CWE-119

The program reads or writes outside the bounds of an allocated buffer, corrupting adjacent memory. With crafted input an attacker can overwrite control data and, with effort, redirect execution to their own code. Remediation ranges from bounds checking and safe library functions to compiler mitigations, usually alongside a careful audit of the surrounding code.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

quickjs-ng/quickjs version 0.12.0 or later (any release newer than 0.11.0 that includes commit 53aebe66170d545bb6265906fe4324e4477de8b4)

  1. 1. Identify the current quickjs version in use by checking package.json, quickjs.c version macro, or running the quickjs binary with --version flag
  2. 2. Clone or pull the latest quickjs-ng repository from https://github.com/quickjs-ng/quickjs
  3. 3. Verify the fix commit 53aebe66170d545bb6265906fe4324e4477de8b4 is included by checking git log or the quickjs.c file for the js_typed_array_constructor_ta function
  4. 4. Build the updated quickjs version following the project's build instructions (typically: gcc -O2 -o quickjs quickjs.c -lm)
  5. 5. Replace the existing quickjs binary/library with the newly built version
  6. 6. Test that existing JavaScript code and typed array operations function correctly with the updated binary
Caveat Minor: If the fix altered typed array constructor behavior, some edge-case typed array operations may behave differently; test thoroughly
