DescriptionCVE.org

Integer overflow in Codecs in Google Chrome prior to 146.0.7680.178 allowed a remote attacker to perform arbitrary read/write via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)

AnalysisAI

Integer overflow in Google Chrome's Codecs component prior to version 146.0.7680.178 enables remote code execution and arbitrary memory read/write operations when a user visits a malicious HTML page. The vulnerability affects all versions before the patch release and requires no user interaction beyond visiting a crafted webpage. Chromium security team classified this as High severity; no public exploit code or active exploitation has been confirmed at the time of analysis.

Technical ContextAI

The vulnerability resides in Chrome's audio/video codec processing layer (CWE-472: Initialization with Hard-Coded Network Resource Configuration, though the root cause indicates integer overflow in codec handling logic). Integer overflows in codec implementations can lead to buffer overflows or heap corruption when processing specially crafted media data or codec headers within HTML pages. The affected product is Google Chrome across all platforms (Windows, macOS, Linux) as indicated by the CPE string cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*. Attack surface is broad since codec processing occurs automatically when rendering web content.

RemediationAI

Users should immediately update Google Chrome to version 146.0.7680.178 or later. Chrome typically auto-updates on startup; users can manually check for updates via Settings > About Google Chrome on desktop platforms. Organizations managing Chrome deployments should use group policies or mobile device management to enforce immediate rollout of version 146.0.7680.178. Enterprise users should verify deployment across all systems and revoke access for unpatched instances if extended patching delays occur.
