8357865: Null MethodHandle.invokeExact crashes JDK 8–18.2

[Daisuke Yamazaki]

Hello HotSpot developers,

This is my first time contributing to OpenJDK.

I have confirmed that JDK-8357865 also occurs on the following version on
native Windows 11 x64 (not WSL): 
  OpenJDK 9.0.4, 10.0.2, 11.0.2, 12.0.2, 13.0.2, 14.0.2, 15.0.2, 16.0.2, 
  17.0.2, 18.0.2.

The crash happens even with -Xint (interpreter mode), 
which suggests that this is a HotSpot native runtime issue, not limited to JIT.

Partial hs_err log:
    A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:
      EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) at pc=0x00007ffdab1b10d0, pid=27592, tid=67948
    JRE version: OpenJDK Runtime Environment (18.0.2+9) (build 18.0.2+9-61)
    Java VM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (18.0.2+9-61, mixed mode, sharing, tiered, compressed oops, compressed class ptrs, g1 gc, windows-amd64)
    Problematic frame:
    V  [jvm.dll+0x110d0]

Full hs_err_pid log is saved locally and can be shared if needed.

It seems that the issue is fixed sometime after JDK 19:
  openjdk version "19.0.1" 2022-10-18

It seems that the issue is fixed sometime after JDK 18, as it does not occur on JDK 19.

Thanks for your attention and guidance.

Best regards,
