Impact

Uninitialized GPU resources in Chrome enable a compromised renderer process to read memory outside the sandbox when a malicious HTML page is served to the user. This flaw does not give direct code execution but allows an attacker to leak sensitive data from the browser’s memory space, potentially exposing credentials or other secrets. The weakness arises from improper initialization of GPU memory objects, classified as CWE-908.

Affected Systems

Google Chrome on Android versions prior to 157.0.8103.38 is vulnerable. Any device running these versions and allowing rendering of crafted web content is impacted.

Risk and Exploitability

The flaw requires an attacker to already have compromised the renderer process, typically via a separate vulnerability or deceptive content. There is no publicly reported widespread exploitation, and the EPSS score is not available. Because it is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog and lacks a high CVSS score, the risk is considered moderate, but the potential to leak arbitrary memory makes patching a high priority.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update Chrome to version 157.0.8103.38 or later.
  • If an immediate update is not possible, disable GPU acceleration in Chrome by navigating to "chrome://flags" and setting "Override software rendering list" to "Disabled" or using the "--disable-gpu" command‑line flag.
  • For managed devices, enforce a Chrome policy to disable hardware acceleration by setting the appropriate policy setting to true.
