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 Google Chrome ANGLE on Android
A heap-based buffer overflow (CWE-122) in ANGLE, Chromium’s graphics translation layer, affects Google Chrome on Android before version 154.0.8037.57. A remote attacker can trigger it by convincing a user to open a crafted HTML page; no privileges are required and attack complexity is low. Successful exploitation allows arbitrary code execution outside the browser sandbox, with high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CVSS 3.1 base score 9.6; Chromium severity Critical). Users of unpatched Chrome on Android are affected. No public proof of concept is known and the issue is not in CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, so exploitation is not known to be occurring in the wild.
What to do: Update Google Chrome on Android to version 154.0.8037.57 or later via the Google Play Store and confirm the installed version afterward. Until devices are updated, avoid opening untrusted or unexpected web pages. Prioritize this critical sandbox-escape fix on managed Android fleets; no public exploit is known.
