Technical details

A use-after-free (UAF) vulnerability exists in the Canvas component of Google Chrome on Linux and ChromeOS. The flaw is triggered when the browser incorrectly manages memory for graphics rendering objects, allowing an attacker to reference memory after it has been freed. By enticing a user to visit a malicious HTML page, a remote attacker can exploit this condition to achieve arbitrary code execution within the browser's sandbox. The vulnerability is addressed in version 147.0.7727.138 and later.
