DescriptionCVE.org

Race in Speech in Google Chrome prior to 148.0.7778.96 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to obtain potentially sensitive information from process memory via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)

AnalysisAI

Information disclosure in Google Chrome prior to 148.0.7778.96 allows remote attackers who have compromised the renderer process to extract potentially sensitive data from process memory through a race condition triggered by a crafted HTML page. The vulnerability requires renderer process compromise and user interaction but results in high confidentiality impact with no integrity or availability consequences. Chromium security team rates this as Medium severity; no active exploitation has been publicly confirmed.

Technical ContextAI

This vulnerability exploits a race condition (CWE-362) within Chrome's speech-related functionality, likely in the renderer process memory handling. The attack surface involves parsing and processing of crafted HTML content that triggers timing-dependent behavior in memory access patterns. A renderer process compromise is a prerequisite, indicating this is a follow-on attack following initial sandbox escape or renderer exploitation. The race condition allows an attacker to read memory regions that should be protected or isolated, bypassing normal access controls through precise timing of concurrent operations.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: Chrome 148.0.7778.96 and later. Users should update Chrome through the standard automatic update mechanism (Settings > About Google Chrome > Check for updates), which will download and apply the latest stable version. For enterprise deployments using Chrome Enterprise or Chromebook management, administrators should deploy version 148.0.7778.96 or later through their organization's update policies. No workarounds are available for the underlying race condition; patching is the primary mitigation. The fix addresses the timing vulnerability in the speech subsystem renderer process, eliminating the memory disclosure window.
