Use after free in WebRTC in Google Chrome on Linux prior to 149.0.7827.53 allowed a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)
AnalysisAI
Remote code execution in Google Chrome on Linux prior to version 149.0.7827.53 allows a remote attacker to exploit a use-after-free condition in the WebRTC component via a crafted HTML page. The flaw carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 8.8 with user interaction required, and while no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, Chromium-class memory corruption bugs in WebRTC are historically high-value targets. Google has released a patched stable channel build, and Chromium itself rates the severity as Medium despite the higher NVD CVSS.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability resides in WebRTC, the real-time communication stack embedded in Chromium that handles audio, video, and peer-to-peer data channels through protocols such as SRTP, ICE, DTLS, and SCTP. CWE-416 (Use After Free) indicates the renderer or WebRTC subsystem references heap memory after it has been freed, which an attacker can groom to achieve arbitrary read/write primitives and ultimately code execution within the sandboxed renderer process. Because WebRTC parses and processes attacker-influenced media and signaling data automatically when a page is loaded, the attack surface is broad and reachable from any web origin that can persuade the browser to initialize a peer connection. The affected component is specifically the Linux build of Chrome stable channel prior to 149.0.7827.53, per the Chrome Releases advisory.
RemediationAI
Upgrade Google Chrome on Linux to version 149.0.7827.53 or later, which is the vendor-released patch documented in the Chrome Releases stable channel update at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop.html and tracked in Chromium issue https://issues.chromium.org/issues/499587071. Enterprise fleets should force-restart browsers to ensure the update is loaded since Chrome only applies patched binaries on relaunch. If patching cannot be performed immediately, compensating controls include disabling WebRTC via the WebRtcAllowLegacyTLSProtocols and URLBlocklist enterprise policies or by deploying an extension that blocks getUserMedia/RTCPeerConnection APIs - note this will break Google Meet, Jitsi, Discord web, and most video-conferencing sites. Network-level mitigations such as blocking STUN/TURN (UDP 3478, TCP 5349) at egress will not prevent exploitation since the UAF triggers during local WebRTC object handling, not on the wire.
