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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.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 is a use-after-free vulnerability in Google Chrome's Network component. It occurs when a program tries to use memory that has already been freed, potentially allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary code outside the browser's sandbox. The issue is triggered by specially crafted network traffic sent to the vulnerable Chrome version.

Impact Analysis

If exploited, this vulnerability could allow a remote attacker to run malicious code on your computer. Since it bypasses the sandbox, the attacker could gain control outside the browser's security restrictions. This might lead to data theft, installation of malware, or other malicious activities on your system.

Mitigation Strategies

Update Google Chrome to version 155.0.8059.79 or later immediately to patch the use-after-free vulnerability in the Network component.
