Code execution via stale platform-layer proxy
Published May 6, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Memory corruption in WebKitGTK and WPE WebKit before 2.36.1 allows remote attackers to execute code through crafted web content. CoordinatedGraphicsScene replaces a platform-layer proxy without invalidating it, leaving m_targetLayer pointing to a freed TextureMapperLayer. Processing content that repeatedly creates, detaches, and destroys WebGL contexts can therefore crash the application or execute attacker-controlled code.
