  1. PR Title: Fix for Heap-Use-After-Free Vulnerability in QuickJS - crash-e12fe074e2b662d65aac5ebf6c5e0cfe3735ff62

  2. PR Description:

    • Bug Type: Heap-Use-After-Free
    • Summary: A vulnerability in QuickJS was identified where a heap-use-after-free occurred during the build_backtrace process. This issue arose because the current_exception object was accessed after being freed. This could lead to undefined behavior, crashes, or memory corruption.
    • Fix Summary: The patch resolves the issue by duplicating the current_exception object before it is passed to build_backtrace. This ensures that the original object is not prematurely freed during garbage collection processes. The duplicated object is properly freed after its use, preventing memory leaks. This fix improves the security and stability of QuickJS by ensuring safe memory management during exception handling.
  3. Sanitizer Report Summary: The sanitizer detected a heap-use-after-free error at /quickjs.c:5243:13 within the find_own_property function. The root cause was an attempt to access the current_exception object after it was freed during garbage collection. This issue propagated through multiple functions, resulting in undefined behavior.
