Description Mark Lam 2016-02-17 10:15:30 PST
JSString::value() can throw an exception if the JS string is a rope and value() needs to resolve the rope but encounters an OutOfMemory error.  If value() is not able to resolve the rope, it will return a null string (in addition to throwing the exception).  If StringPrototype functions do not check for exceptions after calling JSString::value(), they may eventually use the returned null string and crash the VM.

The fix is to add all the necessary exception checks, and do the appropriate handling if needed.
