Description
This module exploits an issue in Chrome 73.0.3683.86 (64 bit).
The exploit corrupts the length of a float in order to modify the backing store
of a typed array. The typed array can then be used to read and write arbitrary
memory. The exploit then uses WebAssembly in order to allocate a region of RWX
memory, which is then replaced with the payload.
The payload is executed within the sandboxed renderer process, so the browser
must be run with the --no-sandbox option for the payload to work correctly.
