DescriptionCVE.org

Stack buffer overflow in V8 in Google Chrome prior to 150.0.7871.182 allowed a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code inside a sandbox via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)

AnalysisAI

Stack buffer overflow in V8, Chrome's JavaScript engine, enables remote code execution confined to the renderer sandbox when a victim visits a specially crafted HTML page. Affects all Google Chrome releases prior to 150.0.7871.182 on all desktop platforms. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been confirmed at time of analysis; vendor-released patch 150.0.7871.182 is available and should be applied immediately given the broad attack surface.

Technical ContextAI

V8 is Google Chrome's open-source, high-performance JavaScript and WebAssembly engine responsible for parsing and executing web content. CWE-121 (Stack-Based Buffer Overflow) identifies the root cause as a write operation that exceeds the bounds of a stack-allocated memory region within V8. In JIT-compiled engine contexts, such overflows can corrupt return addresses or frame pointers on the call stack, enabling an attacker to redirect execution to controlled data. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covers all versions prior to the fixed release 150.0.7871.182. Critically, the CVSS Scope metric is Unchanged (S:U), which is consistent with the CVE description stating execution is achieved 'inside a sandbox' - successful exploitation yields arbitrary code execution within the Chrome renderer sandbox, not at OS level, meaning a secondary sandbox escape vulnerability would be required for full system compromise.

RemediationAI

The primary remediation is to upgrade Google Chrome to version 150.0.7871.182 or later using Chrome's built-in update mechanism (Help > About Google Chrome) or via enterprise deployment tools such as Google Admin Console, Microsoft Intune, or SCCM. SUSE administrators should apply the updated Chromium package through zypper or the SUSE security update channel. If immediate patching is not feasible, restrict user access to untrusted external web content via network proxy or content filtering policies, and enforce browser isolation or remote browser isolation (RBI) solutions to contain renderer-process exploitation. Note that network-level controls do not eliminate the vulnerability - they reduce exposure. There is no configuration-level workaround that addresses the underlying stack overflow; patching to 150.0.7871.182 is the only confirmed fix.
