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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.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 is a use-after-free vulnerability in ANGLE, a graphics library used by Google Chrome. It allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code within the Chrome sandbox by tricking a user into visiting a specially crafted HTML page. The issue arises when the program tries to use memory that has already been freed, leading to potential code execution.

Detection Guidance

Detection of this vulnerability requires checking the installed version of Google Chrome. If your version is prior to 156.0.8078.47, the system is vulnerable. Use commands like 'google-chrome --version' on Linux or check 'chrome://settings/help' in the browser to verify the version.

Impact Analysis

If exploited, this vulnerability could allow an attacker to run malicious code on your computer, potentially stealing data, installing malware, or taking control of your system. Since it affects Chrome, simply visiting a compromised website could trigger the attack. The sandbox limits the impact but does not fully prevent code execution.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code inside the sandbox via crafted HTML pages. Such arbitrary code execution could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data, which may violate GDPR's data protection requirements or HIPAA's safeguards for protected health information.

Mitigation Strategies

Update Google Chrome to version 156.0.8078.47 or later to address the use-after-free vulnerability in ANGLE. Disable automatic updates temporarily if needed, but prioritize patching to prevent remote code execution risks.
