The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.

The vulnerability exists due to incorrect optimization, when some code patterns in the JIT incorrectly optimized switch statements and generated code with out-of-bounds-reads. A remote attacker can abuse such behavior to execute arbitrary code on the system.
