CVE-2026-19148: Out of bounds write in Google Chrome
CVE-2026-19148 is a high-severity out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the GPU component of Google Chrome on Linux systems prior to version 151.0.7922.109. This flaw allows a remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to potentially escape the sandbox by using a specially crafted HTML page. The vulnerability affects Chrome versions before 151.0.7922.109 and was publicly disclosed on August 6, 2026.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability involves an out-of-bounds write in the GPU process of Google Chrome on Linux platforms. An attacker with control over the renderer process can exploit this flaw to perform a sandbox escape, which could lead to full compromise of the host system. The issue is addressed in Chrome version 151.0.7922.109. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 8.3, indicating high severity, with network attack vector, high attack complexity, no privileges required, user interaction required, scope changed, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows a remote attacker who has compromised the renderer process to escape the Chrome sandbox, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution on the host system with elevated privileges. This can result in full system compromise, data theft, or further attacks on the affected machine.
Mitigation Recommendations
Users should update Google Chrome on Linux to version 151.0.7922.109 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. The vendor advisory linked confirms the availability of this update. No additional mitigations are specified beyond applying the official patch.
