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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.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 vulnerability is a use-after-free issue in the CameraCapture component of Google Chrome on Mac. A use-after-free occurs when a program continues to use memory after it has been freed, potentially leading to corruption or unintended behavior. In this case, a remote attacker could exploit this flaw via a crafted HTML page to potentially escape the browser's sandbox.

Detection Guidance

This vulnerability is specific to Google Chrome on Mac prior to version 150.0.7871.128. Detection involves checking the installed Chrome version. Run 'google-chrome --version' in the terminal. If the version is below 150.0.7871.128, 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 or escape the browser sandbox. This means they might gain access to your system's resources, install malware, or perform other malicious actions without your knowledge.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability does not directly affect compliance with GDPR, HIPAA, or similar standards as it involves a sandbox escape in Google Chrome. Compliance impacts would depend on how the vulnerability is exploited in a specific environment or system handling regulated data.

Mitigation Strategies

Update Google Chrome on Mac to version 150.0.7871.128 or later to address the use after free vulnerability in CameraCapture.
