Heap corruption via PDFium use after free
Published Jun 4, 2026 · Updated Jun 4, 2026
Use after free in PDFium in Google Chrome before 149.0.7827.53 allows remote attackers to corrupt heap memory via a crafted PDF file. Public advisories identify PDFium as the affected component but do not disclose the freed object, lifetime error, or code path that reuses it. A user must open or render the crafted PDF; successful exploitation corrupts the browser-process heap, while any further consequence remains undisclosed.
