CVE-2021-30536Network attack vector

Memory disclosure and browser crash via V8 over-read

Published Jun 7, 2021 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Out-of-bounds reads in Google Chrome before 91.0.4472.77 allow remote attackers to expose memory or crash the browser via crafted HTML. V8 reads beyond an allocated memory boundary while processing attacker-controlled page content, causing stack corruption; Google has not disclosed the responsible function or faulty bounds operation. A user must load the crafted page, and the published impact is limited to confidentiality loss and browser interruption, with no integrity impact.
