Use after free in Ozone in Google Chrome prior to 149.0.7827.103 allowed a remote attacker to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Critical)
AnalysisAI
Heap corruption in Google Chrome's Ozone display server component prior to version 149.0.7827.103 allows remote attackers to exploit a use-after-free condition through a malicious web page, with Chromium rating this as Critical severity. Successful exploitation requires the victim to visit attacker-controlled HTML content, but yields high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability in the renderer process. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not currently listed in CISA KEV.
Technical ContextAI
Ozone is Chromium's platform abstraction layer that handles window-system integration, graphics buffer management, and input event routing across Linux, ChromeOS, and other platforms - it sits between Chrome's compositor and the underlying display server (X11, Wayland, DRM). CWE-416 (Use After Free) indicates the renderer or GPU process retains and dereferences a pointer to a heap object after it has been freed, typically when object lifetime is not correctly tracked across asynchronous graphics or input callbacks. Attacker-controlled HTML/JavaScript can shape the heap and trigger the dangling reference, allowing reuse of the freed allocation with attacker data and subsequent control-flow hijack within the sandboxed renderer.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: update Google Chrome to 149.0.7827.103 or later on all desktop platforms, as published in the Chrome Releases stable-channel advisory (https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0153744567.html); the Chromium tracker entry is https://issues.chromium.org/issues/516674532. Force the update by restarting Chrome on managed endpoints and verify via chrome://settings/help, and apply equivalent updates to downstream Chromium browsers (Edge, Brave, Opera, Electron apps) as those vendors ship respins. As a temporary compensating control until patching completes, enable Enhanced Safe Browsing and consider enforcing Site Isolation via enterprise policy and blocking unknown-origin sites at the proxy - disabling JavaScript via policy would mitigate but breaks the modern web and is generally not viable.
