DescriptionCVE.org

Integer overflow in QUIC in Google Chrome prior to 151.0.7922.72 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to potentially perform a sandbox escape via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)

AnalysisAI

Sandbox escape in Google Chrome versions prior to 151.0.7922.72 stems from an integer overflow in the QUIC networking stack, allowing an attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to break out of the browser sandbox and gain broader host access via a crafted HTML page. Rated High severity by Chromium (CVSS 9.6, scope-changed), the flaw requires a prior renderer compromise and user interaction (visiting a malicious page). No public exploit is identified at time of analysis, and the EPSS probability is low at 0.29%.

Technical ContextAI

QUIC is Google's UDP-based transport protocol (the basis of HTTP/3) implemented natively in Chrome's network service. The root cause is CWE-190 (Integer Overflow or Wraparound), where arithmetic on attacker-influenced values wraps past the maximum representable integer, typically leading to undersized buffer allocations and subsequent out-of-bounds memory access - consistent with the 'Buffer Overflow' tag applied to this issue. Because QUIC parsing and the memory-corruption primitive are reachable in a way that lets a compromised renderer influence a more privileged process, this becomes a sandbox-escape vector rather than a simple renderer crash. The affected component is the desktop Chrome browser (CPE cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome), fixed in the Stable channel build 151.0.7922.72.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: update Google Chrome to 151.0.7922.72 or later on the Stable channel, as announced in the Chrome Releases advisory (https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0887107924.html); restart the browser to ensure the update is applied since Chrome staged updates only take effect after a relaunch. In managed environments, push the update via enterprise policy or your endpoint management tooling and verify the reported version on endpoints. As an interim compensating control before patching, you can disable QUIC/HTTP/3 via the enterprise policy or the chrome://flags 'Experimental QUIC protocol' setting to remove the vulnerable transport path - the trade-off is that connections fall back to TCP/HTTP2, which may slightly increase latency but generally maintains functionality. Because exploitation requires a prior renderer compromise, keeping the browser fully updated (site isolation and renderer sandbox intact) is the most effective control.
