Sandbox code execution via ANGLE in Chrome on Mac before 156.0.8078.73
Improper input validation in ANGLE in Google Chrome on Mac can let a remote attacker potentially run arbitrary code inside the sandbox. The attacker needs the user to open a crafted HTML page. Only Mac builds before 156.0.8078.73 are named as affected. Code runs inside the sandbox, not with full system rights.
What to do: Update Google Chrome on Mac to 156.0.8078.73 or later.
| Product | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|
| Google Chrome | Mac prior to 156.0.8078.73 | 156.0.8078.73 |
