DescriptionCVE.org

Integer overflow in ANGLE in Google Chrome prior to 148.0.7778.96 allowed a remote attacker to leak cross-origin data via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)

AnalysisAI

Integer overflow in ANGLE graphics library in Google Chrome prior to version 148.0.7778.96 allows remote attackers to leak cross-origin data by delivering a crafted HTML page that triggers the vulnerability. The vulnerability requires user interaction (visiting a malicious webpage) but can bypass same-origin policy protections, exposing sensitive data from other domains. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been confirmed at analysis time.

Technical ContextAI

ANGLE (Almost Native Graphics Layer Engine) is Google's translation layer that maps OpenGL API calls to underlying graphics APIs (DirectX, Vulkan). The integer overflow occurs in ANGLE's buffer or index handling during GPU operations, likely in vertex/index buffer validation or memory address calculations. CWE-472 (Integer Overflow) indicates improper bounds checking when processing crafted WebGL or Canvas rendering commands. The vulnerability allows an attacker to cause memory calculations to wrap around, potentially enabling out-of-bounds reads of GPU memory that may contain data from other browser contexts or processes. Chrome's multi-process architecture means cross-origin data leakage requires escaping the renderer sandbox constraints via GPU-level access.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: Chrome 148.0.7778.96 or later. Users should update Chrome immediately via the browser's built-in auto-update mechanism (Settings > About Chrome). The update will automatically restart and apply the patch. For managed deployments, administrators can force updates via Chrome policies (ChromeVersionSuffixForceList or UpdatesSuppressedEndDate settings). No workarounds are available for unpatched versions; the only mitigation is restricting web browsing to trusted sites only, which is impractical. Organizations relying on older Chrome ESR branches should verify patch availability in their version line and apply updates on a documented schedule.
