Chrome Patches 108 Vulnerabilities Including Crticial Flaws that Enable Code Execution Attacks
Google patched 108 vulnerabilities in Chrome 154, including critical memory-safety flaws that could enable remote code execution.
Heap buffer overflow in Chrome for Android ANGLE enables RCE
A heap-based buffer overflow (CWE-122) in the ANGLE graphics component of Google Chrome on Android, in versions prior to 154.0.8037.57, allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code outside the browser sandbox. The flaw is triggered when the victim loads a crafted HTML page; the advisory does not describe any further interaction. Successful exploitation breaks out of Chrome's sandbox, and Chromium rates the issue Critical. Users of Google Chrome for Android below 154.0.8037.57 are affected. No public proof-of-concept is known and the CVE is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, so exploitation is not known in the wild.
What to do: Update Google Chrome on Android to version 154.0.8037.57 or later via the Play Store or mobile device management. Until that build is installed, avoid opening untrusted web pages on affected devices and confirm managed Android fleets have received the fixed release.
