Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedUse after free in Ozone in Google Chrome prior to 149.0.7827.53 allowed a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Critical)
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceA use-after-free vulnerability exists in the Ozone windowing system of Google Chrome versions prior to 149.0.7827.53. When a user visits a crafted malicious HTML page, the browser can be induced to access memory after it has been freed, potentially allowing the attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the browser process.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Check if Google Chrome is installedOpen a terminal or command prompt and run: google-chrome --version (Linux/macOS) or check the Chrome installation directory on WindowsAffected if Google Chrome is present on the system
-
Determine the installed Chrome versionRun: google-chrome --version on Linux, chrome://settings/help in the browser address bar, or check About Chrome in the application menuAffected if The version displayed is lower than 149.0.7827.53
-
Identify the operating systemCheck if the system is running Linux (uname -a or system info). Ozone is the windowing system used by Chrome on LinuxAffected if Running Chrome on Linux - Ozone is the Linux-specific windowing system component where the vulnerability exists
-
Verify browser execution contextThe vulnerability is triggered by visiting a crafted malicious HTML page. Check browser history and extensions for suspicious pages if compromise is suspectedAffected if The user has visited untrusted HTML pages while using an affected Chrome version on Linux
A user is affected if Google Chrome version 149.0.7827.53 or higher is not installed, particularly on Linux systems where the Ozone windowing component is present.
