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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.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

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.

Mitigation Strategies

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