ArrayBufferBuilder isn't, but DOMArrayBuffer seems to be a GC managed type [1], right? And, before the patch, the DOMArrayBuffer held a "refcounting pointer" potentially targeting raw_data_'s reference counted ArrayBuffer, right? I don't see any immediately apparent use-after-free with this, so I assume raw_data_'s ArrayBuffer is being messed with elsewhere? As someone who worked on the code, do you have an idea/hunch about where the invalid memory access actually occurs?

Yes, DOMArrayBuffer inherits via ScriptWrappable from GarbageCollectedFinalized<> so it's on the GCed heap. I don't understand the UAF yet, I'm hoping someone will write a blog post on it later :-).
