AI Analysis

Impact

An out-of-bounds write occurs when the GPU driver in Chrome processes a crafted HTML page. The flaw can allow a remote attacker who has already compromised the isolated GPU process to escape the sandbox and execute arbitrary code. The weakness manifests as a buffer overrun, a classic example of memory corruption that bypasses bounds checking.

Affected Systems

Google Chrome versions prior to 147.0.7727.101 are affected. Any installation of the Chrome browser that uses GPU acceleration and has not yet applied the 147.0.7727.101 update is vulnerable.

Risk and Exploitability

Chromium assigns a high severity to this issue. No EPSS score is available and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog, indicating that public exploitation data is limited. The likely attack vector involves serving a malicious HTML page that targets the user’s GPU process; if the attacker already controls the GPU process, they can exploit the write to escape the sandbox. The CVSS score is 8.3.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the latest Chrome update (147.0.7727.101 or newer) released in the stable channel.
  • If an update cannot be applied immediately, launch Chrome with the --disable-gpu flag to prevent use of GPU acceleration, which mitigates the crash but limits performance.
  • Stay informed of further advisories from the Chromium project.
