CVE-2020-6444Network attack vector

Heap corruption via uninitialized WebRTC data

Published Apr 13, 2020 · Updated Aug 4, 2024

Uninitialized use in Google Chrome's WebRTC component before 81.0.4044.92 allows remote attackers to corrupt heap memory through crafted HTML. The public record identifies WebRTC as the locus but does not disclose the affected function, object, or code path that consumes uninitialized data. A victim must load attacker-controlled HTML; resulting memory corruption can affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability, but no code-execution outcome is documented.
