Arbitrary memory read/write via GPU integer overflow
Published May 6, 2026 · Updated May 6, 2026
Integer overflow in Google Chrome GPU on Android before 148.0.7778.96 allows remote attackers to perform arbitrary memory reads and writes. The public record identifies the GPU component but does not disclose which arithmetic operation overflows or which memory object becomes exposed. Exploitation requires a crafted HTML page, user interaction, and a previously compromised renderer process; the documented consequence is memory disclosure and modification, not a service interruption.
