Google Chromium Blink Use-After-Free Vulnerability
Google · Chromium Blink
A use-after-free flaw in the Blink rendering engine of Google Chromium (Chrome versions prior to 89.0.4389.90) can lead to heap corruption. A remote attacker can exploit it by getting a victim to open a crafted HTML page, which requires user interaction but no authentication or special configuration.
Use after free in Blink in Google Chrome prior to 89.0.4389.90 allowed a remote attacker to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page.
