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 confidenceThis is an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the Input component of Google Chrome on Linux, affecting versions prior to 149.0.7827.53. A remote attacker can exploit this by tricking a user into visiting a crafted HTML page, allowing them to read potentially sensitive data from the process memory beyond allocated buffer boundaries.

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 installed on LinuxRun 'which google-chrome' or 'which chromium-browser' in terminal, or check /usr/bin/google-chrome* and /opt/google/chrome/ directoriesAffected if Google Chrome is installed on the Linux system
-
Determine installed Google Chrome versionRun 'google-chrome --version' or 'google-chrome --product-version' in terminalAffected if Command returns a version number less than 149.0.7827.53
-
Verify Chrome is running on LinuxCheck that the Chrome binary is the Linux version (not Windows or macOS) by examining the executable path or running 'file $(which google-chrome)'Affected if The installed Chrome is the Linux version and version is below 149.0.7827.53
User is affected if Google Chrome for Linux is installed with a version lower than 149.0.7827.53
