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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.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 the GPU component of Google Chrome versions prior to 147.0.7727.138. It allows a remote attacker, who has already compromised the renderer process, to potentially exploit heap corruption by using a specially crafted HTML page.

Impact Analysis

If exploited, this vulnerability could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service by corrupting memory in the GPU process. This could lead to unauthorized actions or system instability on a device running a vulnerable version of Google Chrome.
