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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.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 the Views component of Google Chrome versions prior to 153.0.8010.36. A use-after-free occurs when a program continues to use memory after it has been freed, potentially leading to corruption or arbitrary code execution. In this case, a local attacker could exploit this to run arbitrary code outside the browser's sandbox, increasing the risk of system compromise.

Detection Guidance

This vulnerability is specific to Google Chrome versions prior to 153.0.8010.36. Detection involves checking the installed Chrome version. On Linux, run: google-chrome --version. On Windows, check via Control Panel or run: wmic product where name='Google Chrome' get 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 execute malicious code on your system. Since it enables code execution outside the sandbox, it could bypass security restrictions, install malware, steal data, or take control of your device. The attacker would need local access to your machine to trigger the exploit.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability is a use-after-free issue in Google Chrome that allows local attackers to execute arbitrary code outside the sandbox. Such arbitrary code execution could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data, which may violate compliance requirements under GDPR (data protection) and HIPAA (health information privacy). However, the provided CVE details do not explicitly address compliance impacts.

Mitigation Strategies

Update Google Chrome to version 153.0.8010.36 or later to address the use-after-free vulnerability in Views. Since this is a local attack vector, ensure no untrusted local programs are running and restrict user permissions where possible.
