Use-after-free in Chrome for Android Media before 157.0.8103.78
A use-after-free in the Media component of Google Chrome on Android, in versions before 157.0.8103.78, lets a remote attacker run arbitrary code inside the sandbox. The attacker triggers it by getting the user to open a crafted HTML page. Chrome for Android users who have not reached that version are affected.
What to do: Update Google Chrome on Android to 157.0.8103.78 or later.
| Product | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|
| Google Chrome on Android | prior to 157.0.8103.78 | 157.0.8103.78 |
