# Use after free in Visuals in Google Chrome prior to 124.0.6367.201 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the…

A use-after-free bug in the Visuals component of Google Chromium lets a remote attacker corrupt heap memory by getting a victim to load a crafted HTML page. Exploitation in the wild is confirmed by CISA, so an attacker can run code in the browser process context.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## Affected

- vendor:Google Chromium affected ? fixed ?
- vendor:google chrome affected < 124.0.6367.201 fixed 124.0.6367.201
- vendor:fedoraproject fedora affected = 38 fixed ?
- vendor:fedoraproject fedora affected = 39 fixed ?
- vendor:fedoraproject fedora affected = 40 fixed ?

## How to check

Check the installed Chrome, Edge or Opera version against the vendor's fixed release for CVE-2024-4671 (version numbers unknown from sources).
Sources do not give a shell command for this check.

## Fix

Update Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Opera and other Chromium-based browsers to the vendor's patched version.
If a patch is unavailable, follow vendor mitigations or stop using the affected browser.

## From the sources

Google Chromium Visuals contains a use-after-free vulnerability that allows a remote attacker to exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page. This vulnerability could affect multiple web browsers that utilize Chromium, including, but not limited to, Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Opera.

CISA required action: Apply mitigations per vendor instructions or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.
