Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.26%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
By passing invalid javascript code where await and yield were called upon non-async and non-generator getter/setter functions, Hermes would invoke generator functions and error out on invalid await/yield positions. This could result in segmentation fault as a consequence of type confusion error, with a low chance of RCE. This issue affects Hermes versions prior to v0.10.0.
