Exploitability

CWE

KEV

CWE ID	Description
CWE-416	The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.

Attack-Flow Graph

Executive Summary

This vulnerability is a use after free issue in Aura, a component of Google Chrome. It occurs when a program tries to use memory that has already been freed, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution outside the sandbox. The attacker needs local access and must interact with the UI to exploit it.

Detection Guidance

This vulnerability is specific to Google Chrome versions prior to 154.0.8037.57. Detection involves checking the installed Chrome version. On Linux, run: google-chrome --version. On Windows, check via 'Programs and Features' or run: wmic product where name='Google Chrome' get version. If the version is below 154.0.8037.57, the system is vulnerable.

Impact Analysis

If exploited, this vulnerability could allow an attacker with local access to run malicious code on your system outside Chrome's sandbox. This could lead to unauthorized data access, system compromise, or further attacks. Users should update Chrome to the latest version to mitigate this risk.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability is a use-after-free issue in Google Chrome that could allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary code outside the sandbox via UI interaction. While it does not directly impact compliance with GDPR or HIPAA, such vulnerabilities may lead to unauthorized data access or execution, which could violate data protection requirements under these regulations if exploited.

Mitigation Strategies

Update Google Chrome to version 154.0.8037.57 or later to address the use-after-free vulnerability in Aura.
