Heap buffer overflow in GPU in Google Chrome on Android prior to 149.0.7827.115 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 on Android prior to 149.0.7827.115 allows a remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to break out of the sandbox via a crafted HTML page that triggers a heap buffer overflow in the GPU process. Chromium rates this severity Critical, and while no public exploit identified at time of analysis, the bug is part of a classic two-stage exploitation chain typically used in browser zero-day exploits. Patch is available from vendor in Chrome 149.0.7827.115 and later.
Technical ContextAI
The flaw is a CWE-122 heap-based buffer overflow inside Chrome's GPU process on Android. Chrome's multi-process architecture isolates web content in a low-privilege renderer; the GPU process runs at higher privilege and handles graphics command buffers, shaders, and texture data marshalled from renderers via Mojo IPC. A memory-corruption bug in this trust boundary lets a malicious renderer corrupt GPU-process heap memory and pivot out of the renderer sandbox into the GPU process, which on Android has broader access to device resources (GPU drivers, shared memory, SurfaceFlinger). The CPE cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome covers the Chrome browser product line, with the Android build specifically affected.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: Chrome 149.0.7827.115 - update Chrome for Android to 149.0.7827.115 or later via Google Play, which is the only durable fix. Enterprises managing fleet devices should push the update through MDM and verify rollout in chrome://version on a sample device. As compensating controls until the update lands, restrict high-risk users to non-Chromium browsers or to Chrome with GPU acceleration disabled (chrome://flags 'Override software rendering list' set to disable hardware acceleration), accepting the trade-off of significantly degraded rendering performance and battery life; site-isolation policies and network-level blocking of untrusted sites further reduce the chance a renderer compromise even reaches this code path.
