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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.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 is a use-after-free vulnerability in the GPU component of Google Chrome on Android. It occurs when a program tries to use memory that has already been freed, potentially leading to crashes or arbitrary code execution. The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to escape the browser sandbox via a specially crafted HTML page.

Detection Guidance

This vulnerability is specific to Google Chrome on Android and requires patching to version 150.0.7871.128 or later. Detection primarily involves checking the installed Chrome version rather than running commands to identify active exploitation.

Impact Analysis

If exploited, this vulnerability could allow an attacker to execute malicious code on your device, bypass security restrictions, or crash your browser. Since it affects Chrome on Android, users of vulnerable versions could be at risk of data theft or unauthorized access if they visit a malicious website.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized data access or exfiltration, violating GDPR's data protection requirements or HIPAA's safeguards for protected health information. Organizations using vulnerable Chrome versions may face compliance breaches if user data is compromised.

Mitigation Strategies

Update Google Chrome on Android to version 150.0.7871.128 or later to address the use-after-free vulnerability in GPU that could lead to sandbox escape.
