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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.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 versions before 153.0.8010.36. It allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code outside the sandbox by tricking a user into visiting a specially crafted HTML page.

This vulnerability is specific to Google Chrome versions prior to 153.0.8010.36. Detection involves checking the installed Chrome version. On Windows, run: wmic product where name='Google Chrome' get version. On Linux, run: google-chrome --version. If the version is below 153.0.8010.36, the system is vulnerable.

Impact Analysis

If exploited, this vulnerability could allow an attacker to run malicious code on your device, potentially stealing data, installing malware, or taking control of your system. It specifically targets users who visit compromised or malicious websites.

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 code execution risks may violate GDPR's integrity and confidentiality requirements or HIPAA's safeguards for protected health information if exploited.

Mitigation Strategies
