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 WebGL within Google Chrome versions before 152.0.7977.65. It allows a remote attacker to potentially execute arbitrary code outside the sandbox by tricking a user into visiting a specially crafted HTML page.

Detection Guidance

This vulnerability is specific to Google Chrome versions prior to 152.0.7977.65. Detection involves checking the installed Chrome version. On Windows, run: chrome.exe --version. On Linux, run: google-chrome --version. If the version is below 152.0.7977.65, the system is vulnerable.
