Google Chromium ANGLE and GPU Improper Input Validation Vulnerability
Google · Chromium
The flaw is an improper input validation issue in the ANGLE and GPU components of Google Chromium, the browser's graphics stack. An attacker who can get a user to load a crafted HTML page can potentially escape the browser sandbox, with no authentication required but user interaction needed to open the page.
Insufficient validation of untrusted input in ANGLE and GPU in Google Chrome prior to 138.0.7204.157 allowed a remote attacker to potentially perform a sandbox escape via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)
