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.
Use-after-free in Google Chrome Fullscreen enables sandbox escape
Google Chrome versions before 154.0.8037.57 contain a use-after-free flaw (CWE-416) in the Fullscreen component. A remote attacker can trigger it by getting a user to open a crafted HTML page. Successful exploitation can potentially execute arbitrary code outside the browser sandbox, and Chromium rates the issue Critical. Anyone still running an unpatched Chrome build is affected. No public proof-of-concept is known, the CVE is not listed in CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, and CVSS has not yet been scored.
What to do: Update Google Chrome to version 154.0.8037.57 or later and fully restart the browser so the update is applied. Until then, avoid opening untrusted HTML pages, and confirm the running build under Help > About Google Chrome or chrome://settings/help.
