Uninitialized resource in Codecs in Google Chrome prior to 153.0.8010.36 allowed a remote attacker to read memory inside the sandbox via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)

AnalysisAI

Uninitialized memory in the Codecs component of Google Chrome before 153.0.8010.36 leaks sandbox-internal memory to a remote attacker via a crafted HTML page. The vulnerability stems from CWE-908 (use of uninitialized resource) where codec processing exposes arbitrary memory contents that happen to reside in uninitialized buffers - but exploitation is constrained entirely within the Chrome sandbox (S:U). …
