DescriptionCVE.org

Heap buffer overflow in GPU in Google Chrome prior to 146.0.7680.178 allowed a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)

AnalysisAI

Remote code execution via heap buffer overflow in Google Chrome's GPU component affects all versions prior to 146.0.7680.178, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary code by crafting malicious HTML pages. The vulnerability requires only a remote attacker with no special privileges or user authentication; users need only visit a compromised or attacker-controlled website. No CVSS score was assigned by NVD, though Chromium classified it as High severity. Patch availability confirmed from vendor.

Technical ContextAI

The vulnerability is a heap buffer overflow (CWE-122) located in Google Chrome's GPU processing subsystem. Heap buffer overflows occur when a program writes more data to a buffer allocated on the heap than the buffer can hold, corrupting adjacent memory structures and potentially enabling code execution. The GPU component handles graphics rendering and acceleration; flaws here are particularly critical because GPU code often processes untrusted data (rendered web content) with minimal validation. The affected product is Google Chrome across all versions before 146.0.7680.178 (per CPE cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*).

RemediationAI

The primary fix is to update Google Chrome to version 146.0.7680.178 or later. Users can enable automatic updates in Chrome settings (Settings > About Google Chrome) to receive patches automatically, or manually check for updates at the same location. Enterprise administrators should deploy 146.0.7680.178 or newer via their standard patch management procedures. Refer to the official Chrome Releases blog (http://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/03/stable-channel-update-for_desktop_31.html) for release notes and the Chromium issue tracker (https://issues.chromium.org/issues/491732188) for technical details. No workarounds are available; patching is the only mitigation.
