AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability is a use-after-free in the Ozone windowing backend of Google Chrome that exists in releases prior to 150.0.7871.115. A web page created by an attacker could trigger a heap corruption, which may lead to severe integrity or availability compromise, but the CVE description does not guarantee that arbitrary code execution is achieved.

Affected Systems

Google Chrome binary builds released before version 150.0.7871.115 on any platform that employs the Ozone backend are affected. This includes all desktop releases of Chrome and Chromium prior to 150.0.7871.115 across Windows, macOS, Linux and other supported operating systems.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.8 denotes high severity, while the EPSS score of < 1% suggests a low probability of seeing an attack in the wild. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The likely attack vector is a malicious website that a user visits; opening a crafted page could exploit the heap corruption. Patching mitigates the highest risk.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade to Chrome version 150.0.7871.115 or later; this update resolves the use-after-free (CWE-416) that can lead to heap corruption.
  • Keep Chrome's automatic updates enabled so that new memory-correction fixes, including those for CWE-416, are applied automatically.
  • If an upgrade cannot be performed immediately, isolate Chrome in a sandbox or use a restrictive browsing policy, and avoid opening unknown HTML content to reduce exposure to the CWE-416 vulnerability.
