Stack corruption via WebRTC use-after-free
Published Jan 30, 2024 · Updated May 8, 2025
Use-after-free in Google Chrome before 121.0.6167.139 allows remote attackers to corrupt stack memory through crafted HTML. The Peer Connection code in WebRTC reuses memory after it has been freed, but Google has not disclosed the affected object or lifetime operation. Exploitation requires a user to load the page; stack corruption occurs in the browser process, while any further code-execution outcome is undisclosed.
