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 · uneditedOut of bounds write in GPU in Google Chrome on Android prior to 149.0.7827.115 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to potentially perform a sandbox escape via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)
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 write vulnerability in the GPU component of Google Chrome for Android. An attacker who has already compromised the renderer process can exploit this flaw via a crafted HTML page to potentially escape Chrome's sandbox isolation. The vulnerability affects versions prior to 149.0.7827.115.

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.
-
Confirm Google Chrome for Android is installedCheck device settings under Apps > Chrome, or run 'pm list packages | grep chrome' via ADB shell to verify the Chrome package is presentAffected if Google Chrome for Android package is found on the device
-
Retrieve the installed Chrome versionNavigate to Chrome Settings > Help & Feedback > About Chrome, or run 'dumpsys package com.android.chrome | grep versionName' via ADB shellAffected if Unable to retrieve version information from the Chrome installation
-
Compare version against the vulnerable rangeCompare the retrieved version code to 149.0.7827.115 using semantic version comparisonAffected if The installed version is lower than 149.0.7827.115 (for example, 149.0.7827.100 or earlier)
-
Verify renderer process exposure (context check)Confirm the device runs Chrome with full renderer capabilities enabled, which is the default state; no configuration change needed for exploitationAffected if Chrome is actively used with renderer process enabled, which is the standard configuration
A user is affected if Google Chrome for Android is installed with a version lower than 149.0.7827.115 and the browser is actively rendering web content.
