vulnerability analysis and mitigation

Overview

A use-after-free vulnerability (CVE-2022-2007) was discovered in the WebGPU component of Google Chrome versions prior to 102.0.5005.115. This security flaw allowed remote attackers to potentially exploit heap corruption through specially crafted HTML pages (Chrome Release, NVD).

Technical details

The vulnerability is classified as a use-after-free (CWE-416) issue in the WebGPU implementation of Chrome. It received a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.8 (HIGH) with the vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, indicating network accessibility, low attack complexity, no privileges required, and user interaction needed for exploitation (NVD).

Impact

If successfully exploited, this vulnerability could lead to heap corruption, potentially allowing attackers to execute arbitrary code within the context of the browser. The high CVSS score indicates that successful exploitation could result in a complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system (NVD).

Mitigation and workarounds

Google addressed this vulnerability in Chrome version 102.0.5005.115. Users and administrators are strongly advised to upgrade to this version or later. The fix has also been incorporated into various Linux distributions, including Fedora and Gentoo, through their respective security updates (Chrome Release, Gentoo Advisory).
