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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.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 attempts to use memory after it has been freed, potentially allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary code or escape the browser sandbox. The flaw exists in versions prior to 151.0.7922.109 and could be triggered by a crafted HTML page.

Detection Guidance

Detection of this vulnerability requires checking the version of Google Chrome on Android. If the version is prior to 151.0.7922.109, the system is vulnerable. Commands to check the version may vary by device but typically involve checking the app version in settings or using package manager commands like 'dumpsys package com.android.chrome'.
