DescriptionCVE.org

Integer overflow in libyuv in Google Chrome prior to 149.0.7827.103 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to potentially perform a sandbox escape via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Critical)

AnalysisAI

Sandbox escape in Google Chrome versions prior to 149.0.7827.103 enables a remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to break out of the browser sandbox via an integer overflow in the libyuv image conversion library. Exploitation requires user interaction with a crafted HTML page and a chained renderer compromise, but Google rated the underlying issue Critical because a successful chain yields code execution outside Chrome's sandbox. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the attacker to have already compromised Chrome's renderer process - this bug is a sandbox-escape primitive, not a primary RCE - and the target user must visit (UI:R) a crafted HTML page that delivers attacker-controlled inputs to libyuv conversion routines. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 8.3 vector (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H) correctly reflects that the bug is reachable over the network, requires high attack complexity, requires user interaction (visiting a page), and crosses a scope boundary (the sandbox) when exploited - all hallmarks of a sandbox-escape primitive that is only useful as the second stage of an exploit chain. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker lures a target to a malicious or compromised website that first triggers a separate renderer-process vulnerability to achieve code execution inside the sandboxed renderer, then serves crafted image or video data that drives libyuv into the integer overflow, corrupting memory at a sandbox boundary and pivoting to code execution in a more privileged Chrome process. Because no public exploit has been identified and attack complexity is rated High, this is most plausible as the second stage of a targeted exploit chain rather than commodity drive-by malware.
Remediation Vendor-released patch: Google Chrome 149.0.7827.103 - update Chrome to 149.0.7827.103 or later via the stable channel and restart the browser to apply, as described at http://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0153744567.html (tracking issue https://issues.chromium.org/issues/517339758). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
