CVE-2026-7357: Use after free in Google Chrome
Use after free in GPU in Google Chrome prior to 147.0.7727.138 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability involves a use-after-free condition in the GPU process of Google Chrome before version 147.0.7727.138. An attacker with control over the renderer process could trigger heap corruption through crafted HTML content, potentially leading to further exploitation. The issue was publicly disclosed and patched by Google in a stable channel update.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation could lead to heap corruption, which may allow an attacker with renderer process access to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service. However, exploitation requires prior compromise of the renderer process. There are no known active exploits in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Google has released an update in Chrome version 147.0.7727.138 that addresses this vulnerability. Users and administrators should apply this official fix by updating to this version or later. Since this is not a cloud service, remediation depends on end-user patching. Patch status is confirmed by the vendor advisory.
