Impact

Uninitialized use of GPU memory in Google Chrome for Android allows an attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to read sensitive data from process memory. The flaw is described as a high‑severity vulnerability by Chromium and is identified as CWE‑457 and CWE‑824. By delivering a crafted HTML page that triggers GPU activity, the compromised renderer can expose contents of its memory, potentially leaking user information that was accessed by that renderer.

Affected Systems

All Android builds running Google Chrome prior to version 151.0.7922.109 are affected. This includes every device that has not yet applied the stable‑channel update to 151.0.7922.109.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score is 5.3, representing a medium severity flaw. The EPSS score is 0.00288 (<1%), indicating a very low exploitation probability. The issue is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The attack requires the renderer process to already be compromised, so the vulnerability cannot be used to elevate privileges beyond that process, but it does enable a partial confidentiality breach of data held in renderer memory.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Chrome to 151.0.7922.109 or later according to the stable channel release notes.
  • If an update is not immediately possible, disable GPU rasterization by navigating to chrome://flags and turning off "GPU rasterization" or by launching Chrome with the --disable-gpu flag.
  • Ensure that Chrome uses default sandboxing settings; avoid modifying the renderer‑process privileges and run with the standard --enable-seccomp-sandbox flag to limit the impact of any future exploitation.
