Impact

Inappropriate implementation in the Views component of Google Chrome on Linux can allow a remote attacker who has already shown control over the renderer process to potentially escape that sandbox by serving a specially crafted HTML page. This escape would give the attacker the same privileges that the renderer runs with on the victim's machine. Chromium labels this flaw as high severity.

Affected Systems

All Chrome installations on Linux running a version prior to 149.0.7827.103 are affected. The vulnerability resides in the renderer, which processes content from HTML before rendering.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score is 8.3 and EPSS is not available, indicating a high severity assessment by Chromium. The flaw is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. Exploitation requires delivery of crafted HTML to a compromised renderer; the attacker must already have bypassed initial sandboxing. Consequently, while the vulnerability’s exploitability is non‑trivial, the conditions for successful exploitation are constrained.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update Google Chrome to version 149.0.7827.103 or newer on all Linux machines
  • Apply Linux kernel sandboxing tools such as AppArmor or SELinux to further restrict the Chrome renderer
  • Configure Chrome to block or restrict loading of potentially malicious HTML and verify content‑security settings
