Use-after-free in Chrome FileSystem before 156.0.8078.47
A use-after-free in Google Chrome's FileSystem component, in versions before 156.0.8078.47, lets a remote attacker potentially run arbitrary code inside the sandbox. No privileges are required, but the victim must open a crafted HTML page. Chrome users on builds before that version are affected.
What to do: Update Google Chrome to 156.0.8078.47 or later.
