Uninitialized resource in Chrome Skia reads memory outside the sandbox
An uninitialized resource in Skia in Google Chrome lets a remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process read memory outside the sandbox. The attacker triggers it with a crafted HTML page. Chrome versions before 157.0.8103.78 are affected.
What to do: Update Google Chrome to 157.0.8103.78 or later.
| Product | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|
| Google Chrome | prior to 157.0.8103.78 | 157.0.8103.78 |
