CWE

KEV

CWE ID	Description
CWE-908	The product uses or accesses a resource that has not been initialized.
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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.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 the GPU component of Google Chrome versions prior to 156.0.8078.47. A use-after-free occurs when a program continues to use memory after it has been freed, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution. An attacker could exploit this by crafting a malicious HTML page to trigger the flaw.

Detection Guidance

This vulnerability is specific to Google Chrome versions prior to 156.0.8078.47. To detect it, check your Chrome version via chrome://version/ in the browser. If it is below 156.0.8078.47, the system is vulnerable. Update Chrome to the latest version to mitigate the risk.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on your system by tricking you into visiting a specially crafted webpage. Since it affects the GPU component, it might also lead to system instability or crashes. The sandbox escape increases the risk as it could bypass security boundaries.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability does not directly affect compliance with GDPR, HIPAA, or other standards as it is a technical flaw in Google Chrome's GPU component. However, if exploited, it could lead to unauthorized code execution, potentially compromising user data and violating privacy regulations like GDPR or HIPAA depending on the affected system's use case.

Mitigation Strategies

Update Google Chrome to version 156.0.8078.47 or later to address the use-after-free vulnerability in GPU components.
