- Chromium: CVE-2024-3515 (Use after free in Dawn): This one’s a bit technical, but basically, before version 123.0.6312.122, a use-after-free vulnerability in Dawn within Google Chrome could let a remote attacker trigger heap corruption through a maliciously crafted HTML page because of improper handling of freed memory in the Dawn component. (Chromium security severity: High)
- Chromium: CVE-2024-3516 (Heap Buffer Overflow in ANGLE): Before version 123.0.6312.122, Heap Buffer Overflow in ANGLE within Google Chrome may allow a remote attacker to trigger heap corruption via a crafted HTML page by overflowing a memory buffer in the ANGLE component. (Chromium security severity: High)
- Chromium: CVE-2024-3157 (Out-of-bounds memory access in Compositing): Prior to 123.0.6312.122, Out-of-bounds memory access within the Compositing component of Google Chrome could allow a remote attacker who had compromised the GPU process to execute a sandbox escape through particular UI gestures potentially. (Chromium security severity: High)
