Heap corruption via ANGLE use-after-free
Published Sep 26, 2022 · Updated May 22, 2025
Use-after-free in ANGLE in Google Chrome before 104.0.5112.101 allows remote attackers to corrupt heap memory through crafted HTML. Google identifies ANGLE as the affected component but has not published the freed object's identity or the code path that reuses it. Exploitation requires user interaction with attacker-controlled HTML; successful exploitation compromises confidentiality, integrity, and availability within Chrome's security scope.
