Impact

Uninitialized use of GPU memory in Chrome for Android versions before 148.0.7778.216 enables a remote attacker to read sensitive data from the browser’s process memory. The vulnerability occurs when the GPU driver accesses memory that has not been initialized, and the data is made available through a crafted HTML page executed in the browser context. Consequently, attackers can potentially exfiltrate confidential information such as credentials or personal data, resulting in a privacy breach.

Affected Systems

Affected systems are Google Chrome browsers running on Android devices with versions older than 148.0.7778.216. No other platforms or operating systems are listed in the vendor’s advisory, and the flaw is specific to the GPU component of Chrome on Android.

Risk and Exploitability

The exploitability assessment shows that the EPSS score is not available and the vulnerability, with a CVSS score of 6.5, is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, but the Chromium severity rating is high. Attackers can trigger the flaw by delivering a malicious HTML page to the victim’s device, enabling the unauthorized memory read. The risk remains significant for any user who accesses untrusted web content without the latest Chrome update.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Google Chrome on Android to version 148.0.7778.216 or later, ensuring the GPU memory uninitialization bug is fixed.
  • Enable automatic updates for Chrome to receive future security patches without manual intervention.
  • While awaiting the patch, avoid visiting untrusted or unknown websites and consider disabling hardware acceleration in Chrome’s settings to reduce GPU reliance.
