An out-of-bounds read in the Skia graphics library in Google Chrome on Mac, before 157.0.8103.78, lets a remote attacker read memory outside the sandbox. The attacker needs a user to open a crafted HTML page; no other authentication is required. Only Mac builds of Chrome before that version are affected.
What to do: Update Google Chrome on Mac to 157.0.8103.78 or later.
