Google Chrome vulnerability analysis and mitigation
Overview
CVE-2024-3176 is a high-severity vulnerability discovered in SwiftShader component of Google Chrome versions prior to 117.0.5938.62. The vulnerability was reported by Chaoyuan Peng (@ret2happy) on October 26, 2022, and was patched in September 2023. This security flaw allows remote attackers to perform an out-of-bounds memory write through a specially crafted HTML page (Chrome Release).
Technical details
The vulnerability is classified as an out-of-bounds write (CWE-787) in the SwiftShader component of Google Chrome. It has received a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.8 (HIGH) with the following vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H. This indicates that the vulnerability can be exploited remotely, requires low attack complexity, needs no privileges, but does require user interaction (NVD).
Impact
The vulnerability allows remote attackers to perform out-of-bounds memory writes, which could potentially lead to arbitrary code execution. Given its high CVSS score and the potential for memory corruption, successful exploitation could result in complete compromise of the affected system's confidentiality, integrity, and availability (NVD).
Mitigation and workarounds
Users should update their Google Chrome installations to version 117.0.5938.62 or later to protect against this vulnerability. The fix was released as part of Chrome's stable channel update for desktop platforms (Chrome Release).
