Buffer overflow in WebRTC in Google Chrome prior to 153.0.8010.36 allowed a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code inside the sandbox via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)

AnalysisAI

Heap-based buffer overflow in the WebRTC component of Google Chrome prior to 153.0.8010.36 allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code within the Chrome renderer sandbox by luring a user to a crafted HTML page. The RCE is sandbox-confined (CVSS S:U), meaning a chained sandbox-escape exploit would be needed for full host-level compromise. …
