Executive Summary

This is an out-of-bounds write vulnerability in WebGL for Google Chrome on Android. It allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code outside the sandbox by tricking a user into visiting a specially crafted HTML page. The issue affects Chrome versions prior to 153.0.8010.36.

Detection Guidance

This vulnerability is specific to Google Chrome on Android versions prior to 153.0.8010.36. Detection involves checking the installed Chrome version. On Android, go to Settings > Apps > Chrome and verify the version number. If it is below 153.0.8010.36, the system is vulnerable.

Impact Analysis

An attacker could exploit this to run malicious code on your device, potentially stealing data, installing malware, or taking control of your system. Since it bypasses sandboxing, it has higher privileges than typical web-based attacks.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code outside the sandbox via crafted HTML pages, which could lead to unauthorized data access or manipulation. Such arbitrary code execution risks may violate GDPR's integrity and confidentiality requirements (Article 32) and HIPAA's security rule for protecting electronic protected health information.

Mitigation Strategies

Update Google Chrome on Android to version 153.0.8010.36 or later to address the out of bounds write vulnerability in WebGL.
