Heap corruption via Dawn use-after-free
Published May 1, 2024 · Updated Nov 4, 2025
Use-after-free in Dawn in Google Chrome before 124.0.6367.78 allows remote attackers to trigger heap corruption via crafted HTML. Google identifies Dawn as the affected component but has not published the freed object's identity or the invalid lifetime operation. Exploitation requires a user to load attacker-controlled HTML; the public record establishes heap corruption but not code execution or a more specific consequence.
