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.
Critical heap buffer overflow in Chrome ANGLE on Android
A heap-based buffer overflow (CWE-122) in ANGLE, Chrome’s graphics translation layer, affects Google Chrome on Android before version 154.0.8037.57. A remote attacker can trigger it by getting the user to open a crafted HTML page and can then execute arbitrary code outside the browser sandbox. Google rates the issue Critical. Unpatched Chrome-for-Android installations are broadly exposed because Chrome is the default browser on most Android devices. No public proof of concept is known, the flaw is not in CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, and exploitation in the wild is not reported.
What to do: Update Google Chrome on Android to version 154.0.8037.57 or later through the Google Play Store or the device system-update channel, then fully restart the browser. Until that version is installed, avoid opening untrusted or unexpected web pages. Confirm the running build in Chrome settings or at chrome://version.
