## 6. Remediation Recommendations
We recommend the immediate implementation of **Checked Arithmetic** in the following components:
### 6.1 Implementation of Checked Arithmetic
The root cause—an integer overflow during memory offset calculation—must be addressed by implementing checked arithmetic within the JavaScriptCore runtime. We recommend replacing standard multiplication with compiler-intrinsic overflow checks to ensure that any `byteOffset` exceeding the 32-bit boundary is caught before memory access is attempted.
**Target Components:**
- `Source/JavaScriptCore/runtime/JSArrayBufferView.cpp`
- `Source/JavaScriptCore/runtime/JSDataView.cpp`
**Proposed Fix:**
Utilize compiler intrinsics to detect overflows during offset calculation:
**Proposed Fix (C++):**
```cpp
// Utilize compiler intrinsics to detect 32-bit overflows
size_t byteOffset;
if (__builtin_mul_overflow(static_cast<size_t>(index), m_elementSize, &byteOffset)) {
return throwOverflowError(); // Prevent execution from reaching the Gigacage
}
// Ensure the end-of-range does not wrap
size_t endOffset;
if (__builtin_add_overflow(byteOffset, m_elementSize, &endOffset)) {
return throwOverflowError();
}
```
### 6.2 Technical Justification from Crash Telemetry
The necessity of this fix is confirmed by the provided crash logs (Incidents 50371BD6 and F8D6F487). The telemetry data reveals:
- **Hardware-Level Enforcement:** The current reliance on the Gigacage (Namespace 31) results in an `EXC_GUARD` violation. While effective at preventing RCE, this is a "fail-safe" rather than a primary validation, leading to a persistent Denial of Service.
- **Consistent Failure Point:** The identical crash frame at `0x22DB0E96C` across both MobileSafari and SafariViewService indicates the flaw is centrally located within the shared WebKit binary (`uuid: af25fa78...`).
- **Systemic Vulnerability:** The presence of the same exception in SafariViewService confirms that the vulnerability affects all third-party applications utilizing `WKWebView` on iOS 26.2.
### 6.3 JIT Compiler Hardening
In addition to runtime checks, the WebAssembly JIT compiler must be updated to ensure that 32-bit integer arithmetic (`i32`) does not elide bounds checks when calculating effective addresses. The compiler should emit explicit check-and-branch instructions where an `i32.add` could result in a wrapped offset that bypasses standard bounds-checking logic.
