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 WebGL
A heap-based buffer overflow (CWE-122) in the WebGL component of Google Chrome on Android, in versions before 154.0.8037.57, allows a remote attacker to potentially execute arbitrary code outside the browser sandbox. The flaw is triggered when the browser processes a crafted HTML page that exercises the vulnerable WebGL code. Successful exploitation could break out of Chrome's sandbox, which Google rates as Critical. Anyone still running an unpatched Chrome build on Android is affected. No public proof of concept is known, and the issue is not listed in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog.
What to do: Update Google Chrome on Android to version 154.0.8037.57 or later through the Google Play Store or Chrome's built-in updater, then confirm the version under Settings > About Chrome. Until that build is installed, avoid opening untrusted web pages, especially pages that use WebGL. Enterprises should push the fixed version through mobile device management and verify devices are no longer running earlier Chrome builds.
