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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.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 WebGL within Google Chrome on Android. It occurs when a program continues to use memory after it has been freed, potentially leading to memory corruption. An attacker who compromised the renderer process could exploit this to escape the sandbox via a crafted HTML page.

Detection Guidance

This vulnerability is specific to Google Chrome on Android versions prior to 151.0.7922.109. Detection involves checking the installed Chrome version. If your version is below 151.0.7922.109, the system is vulnerable. Update Chrome to the latest version to mitigate the risk.

Impact Analysis

If you use Google Chrome on Android prior to version 151.0.7922.109, this vulnerability could allow a remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to escape the sandbox. This could lead to unauthorized access to your device or data, potentially enabling further malicious actions.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to potentially perform a sandbox escape via a crafted HTML page, which could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data. This may impact compliance with GDPR by risking unauthorized data processing or breaches, and with HIPAA by potentially exposing protected health information if exploited in a healthcare context.

Mitigation Strategies

Update Google Chrome on Android to version 151.0.7922.109 or later to address the use after free vulnerability in WebGL.
