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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.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 Tint, a component of Google Chrome. A use-after-free occurs when a program continues to use a pointer after freeing the memory it points to. This can lead to memory corruption, potentially allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary code outside the browser's sandbox.

Detection Guidance

This vulnerability is specific to Google Chrome versions prior to 155.0.8059.39. Detection involves checking the installed Chrome version. On Windows, run: wmic product where "name like 'Google Chrome'" get version. On Linux, run: google-chrome --version. If the version is below 155.0.8059.39, the system is vulnerable.

Impact Analysis

An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by tricking you into visiting a specially crafted malicious webpage. If successful, the attacker could run arbitrary code on your system, potentially stealing data, installing malware, or taking control of your device.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could potentially lead to unauthorized code execution, which may result in data breaches or unauthorized access to sensitive information. Such incidents could violate compliance requirements under GDPR, HIPAA, or other regulations depending on the data involved.

Mitigation Strategies

Update Google Chrome to version 155.0.8059.39 or later to address the use after free vulnerability in Tint.
