This affects all versions of package posix. When invoking the toString method, it will fallback to 0x0 value, as the value of toString is not invokable (not a function), and then it will crash with type-check.

Weakness

The product does not check the return value from a method or function, which can prevent it from detecting unexpected states and conditions.
