Technical details

A use-after-free (UAF) vulnerability exists in the iOS-specific implementation of Google Chrome (CWE-416). The flaw is triggered when the browser incorrectly manages memory during the processing of HTML content, allowing an attacker to reference memory after it has been freed. By enticing a user to visit a maliciously crafted HTML page, a remote attacker can exploit this condition to achieve arbitrary code execution (ACE) within the context of the browser process. This vulnerability was reported by Google and is addressed in version 149.0.7827.53.
