Descriptions

Out of bounds memory access in V8 in Google Chrome prior to 123.0.6312.105 allowed a remote attacker to perform arbitrary read/write via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)

El acceso a memoria fuera de los límites en V8 en Google Chrome anterior a 123.0.6312.105 permitía a un atacante remoto realizar lectura/escritura arbitraria a través de una página HTML manipulada. (Severidad de seguridad de Chrome: alta)

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Google Chrome. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within the implementation of the enum cache in V8. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a read past the end of an allocated data structure. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process at low integrity.

An update that fixes 35 vulnerabilities is now available. This update for chromium fixes the following issues. Use after free in Visuals Use after free in ANGLE Heap buffer overflow in WebAudio Use after free in Picture In Picture Use after free in Dawn Type Confusion in ANGLE Out of bounds read in V8 API Use after free in Dawn Object corruption in V8. Object corruption in WebAssembly. Use after free in Downloads. Reported by ChaobinZhang Use after free in QUIC. Inappropriate implementation in Autofill. Out of bounds read in Fonts. Insufficient policy enforcement in Site Isolation. Insufficient data validation in Browser Switcher. Insufficient data validation in Downloads. Inappropriate implementation in Extensions. Inappropriate implementation in Network. Inappropriate implementation in Prompts. Insufficient policy enforcement in WebUI. Out of bounds write in Compositing Heap buffer overflow in ANGLE Use after free in Dawn. Inappropriate implementation in V8 Use after free in Bookmarks. Out of bounds memory access in V8 Use after free in ANGLE Use after free in Dawn Use after free in WebCodecs Type Confusion in WebAssembly Object lifecycle issue in V8. Out of bounds read in Swiftshader Use after free in Canvas. Inappropriate implementation in Downloads.
