DescriptionCVE.org

Out of bounds read and write in WebAudio in Google Chrome prior to 146.0.7680.153 allowed a remote attacker to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)

AnalysisAI

Heap corruption in Google Chrome's WebAudio component (versions prior to 146.0.7680.153) can be triggered through out-of-bounds memory access when processing malicious HTML pages, enabling remote attackers to achieve arbitrary code execution without user interaction beyond viewing the page. The vulnerability affects Chrome, Ubuntu, and Debian systems, with patches now available across all platforms.

Technical ContextAI

The vulnerability resides in the WebAudio API implementation within Google Chrome's Blink rendering engine. WebAudio provides browser-native audio processing capabilities through JavaScript, and the out-of-bounds read/write condition suggests improper bounds checking when processing audio buffers or related memory structures. This class of vulnerability (CWE-based buffer overflow) typically arises from unsafe memory operations during audio data manipulation, potentially in audio context initialization, buffer allocation, or audio node processing. The flaw affects the core rendering engine shared across Chrome desktop and Chromium-based browsers, making it a systemic risk across the Chromium ecosystem.

RemediationAI

Immediately upgrade Google Chrome to version 146.0.7680.153 or later. The patch is available through Chrome's automatic update mechanism; users should verify they are running the latest version via Settings > About > Chrome. For Debian-based systems, update the chromium or google-chrome package to the patched version as provided by your distribution maintainer. Until patching is complete, mitigate exposure by restricting browsing to trusted sites, disabling untrusted JavaScript execution where possible, and deploying Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to limit script execution scope. Organizations managing browser deployments should prioritize this update given the network-based attack vector and High severity designation. Detailed patch information is available at https://issues.chromium.org/issues/490246422 and the Chrome Releases advisory.
