A memory corruption flaw in Chrome's HTML handling lets a remote attacker potentially execute arbitrary code inside the browser sandbox by convincing a user to open a crafted HTML page. Successful exploitation gives code execution, though the sandbox limits the immediate impact. Any user on an unpatched Chrome build is affected.
What to do: Update Chrome to version 156.0.8078.73 or later; Chrome's auto-update mechanism will apply the fix on relaunch.
| Product | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|
| Google Chrome | prior to 156.0.8078.73 | 156.0.8078.73 |
Estimated exposure
largeSmall unpatched share of Chrome's ~3 billion users — Browser flaw requiring victim to visit a malicious page; vast install base but auto-updates limit the unpatched share.
