CVE-2026-19148: Out of bounds write in Google Chrome
Out of bounds write in GPU in Google Chrome on Linux prior to 151.0.7922.109 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to potentially perform a sandbox escape via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-19148 is an out-of-bounds write vulnerability (CWE-787) in the GPU component of Google Chrome on Linux platforms. It affects versions prior to 151.0.7922.109. The vulnerability enables a remote attacker, who has already compromised the renderer process, to potentially perform a sandbox escape via a crafted HTML page. This could lead to increased privileges or further compromise of the host system. The vulnerability is rated as high severity by Chromium security, but no CVSS score or known active exploitation has been documented.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation could allow an attacker with control over the renderer process to escape the sandbox environment, potentially leading to execution of arbitrary code with higher privileges on the host system. This elevates the risk of system compromise beyond the browser sandbox containment.
Mitigation Recommendations
Users and administrators should update Google Chrome on Linux to version 151.0.7922.109 or later to remediate this vulnerability. Since this is a client-side application vulnerability, applying the official update is the recommended and effective mitigation. Patch status is confirmed by the version boundary provided. No additional vendor advisory content is available to suggest alternative mitigations or indicate that no action is required.
