Technical details

A use-after-free flaw in Chrome's Network component allows arbitrary code execution outside the sandbox when processing malicious network traffic. The vulnerability requires network access and no user interaction beyond visiting a webpage or receiving network traffic. Successful exploitation grants an attacker code execution with the privileges of the browser process, escaping sandbox protections.
