## Technical details

A use-after-free (UAF) vulnerability exists in the iOS-specific implementation of Google Chrome. The flaw is triggered when the browser attempts to access memory that has already been deallocated, typically during the processing of specially crafted HTML content. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this by enticing a user to visit a malicious website, leading to heap corruption. This can result in a stable browser crash (Denial of Service) or potentially arbitrary code execution within the sandbox context of the browser. The issue is resolved in version 149.0.7827.53.
