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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.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 Google Chrome on Mac. It occurs when a program tries to use memory that has already been freed, potentially allowing a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code outside the sandbox. The attacker could achieve this by tricking a user into visiting a specially crafted HTML page.

Detection Guidance

This vulnerability is specific to Google Chrome on Mac prior to version 153.0.8010.36. Detection involves checking the installed Chrome version. Use the command 'google-chrome --version' on Mac to verify if the version is below 153.0.8010.36. If so, the system is vulnerable.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability could allow an attacker to run malicious code on your device, potentially stealing data, installing malware, or taking control of your system. Since it affects Chrome, simply visiting a compromised website could trigger the exploit.

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 risks may impact compliance with GDPR (data protection) and HIPAA (healthcare data privacy) by potentially exposing sensitive information or violating data integrity requirements.

Mitigation Strategies

Update Google Chrome to version 153.0.8010.36 or later to address the use after free vulnerability in the Device component.
