| 2024 | Icarus: Trustworthy Just-In-Time Compilers with Symbolic Meta-ExecutionabstractJust-in-time (JIT) compilers make JavaScript run efficiently by replacing slow JavaScript interpreter code with fast machine code. However, this efficiency comes at a cost: bugs in JIT compilers can completely subvert all language-based (memory) safety guarantees, and thereby introduce catastrophic exploitable vulnerabilities. We present Icarus: a new framework for implementing JIT compilers that are automatically, formally verified to be safe, and which can then be converted to C++ that can be linked into browser runtimes. Crucially, we show how to build a JIT with Icarus such that verifying the JIT implementation statically ensures the security of all possible programs that the JIT could ever generate at run-time, via a novel technique called symbolic meta-execution that encodes the behaviors of all possible JIT-generated programs as a single Boogie meta-program which can be efficiently verified by SMT solvers. We evaluate Icarus by using it to re-implement components of Firefox's JavaScript JIT. We show that Icarus can scale up to expressing complex JITs, quickly detects real-world JIT bugs and verifies fixed versions, and yields C++ code that is as fast as hand-written code.
