Exploitability

CWE

KEV

CWE ID	Description
CWE-190	The product performs a calculation that can produce an integer overflow or wraparound when the logic assumes that the resulting value will always be larger than the original value. This occurs when an integer value is incremented to a value that is too large to store in the associated representation. When this occurs, the value may become a very small or negative number.

Attack-Flow Graph

Executive Summary

This vulnerability is an integer overflow in ANGLE, a graphics library used by Google Chrome. It occurs when Chrome versions before 151.0.7922.72 process a specially crafted HTML page, potentially allowing a remote attacker to escape the browser's sandbox and execute arbitrary code on the host system.

Detection Guidance

This vulnerability is specific to Google Chrome versions prior to 151.0.7922.72. To detect it, check your Chrome version by running chrome --version or chrome://version in the browser. If your version is below 151.0.7922.72, the system is vulnerable.

Impact Analysis

If exploited, this vulnerability could let an attacker run malicious code on your computer, bypassing Chrome's security protections. This might allow them to steal data, install malware, or take control of your system without your knowledge.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability involves an integer overflow in ANGLE within Google Chrome, potentially allowing sandbox escape via crafted HTML. Such vulnerabilities could lead to unauthorized data access or exfiltration, which may violate GDPR's integrity and confidentiality requirements or HIPAA's safeguards for protected health information. However, specific compliance impacts depend on deployment context and mitigations.

Mitigation Strategies

Update Google Chrome to version 151.0.7922.72 or later to address the integer overflow vulnerability in ANGLE.
