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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability occurs when a web page containing unusual WebGPU content is loaded into the GPU GLES render process, which can trigger a write Use-After-Free (UAF) crash in the GPU GLES user-space shared library.

On certain platforms, if the process executing the graphics workload has system privileges, this vulnerability could be exploited further to compromise the device.

Impact Analysis

If exploited, this vulnerability can cause a crash in the GPU GLES user-space shared library due to a write Use-After-Free condition.

On platforms where the graphics workload process has system privileges, attackers could leverage this vulnerability to execute further exploits on the device, potentially leading to system compromise.
