I found this crash in Spidermonkey 1.8.5 version

Comment 2

[Brian Hackett [Laid off!]]

Out of memory exceptions are not catchable.

Comment 3

[Spandan Veggalam]

This is not replicated in other new versions. They are well handled. 
In other new versions running without catch results below errors:
Spidermonkey 17: InternalError: allocation size overflow
Spidermonkey 24: InternalError: allocation size overflow
Spidermonkey 31: InternalError: allocation size overflow

Spidermonkey 1.8.5 is extremely old and no longer supported. Spidermonkey 17 is also no longer supported. I'm not sure about 24, since 31 still has the RC status, but a lot has changed since then.

Comment 5

[Spandan Veggalam]

Yeah, I have written a fuzzer. As jsfunfuzz along with other fuzzers test spidermonkey 24*7 I am targetting old versions. JS 1_8_5 because it is one of the initial stable versions implements ECMAScript5.

Comment 6

[Till Schneidereit [:till]]

This does look like a bug in 1.8.5. However, that release hasn't been supported and maintained for years, so the issue won't be fixed.

[Virtual_ManPL [:Virtual] 🇵🇱 - (please needinfo? me - so I will see your comment/reply/question/etc.)]

Spidermonkey 1.8.5 (introduced in Firefox 4.0) is not supported anymore.
Please use latest one which is SpiderMonkey 31
