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.
-
Verify Chrome for Android is installedCheck your device's app list or settings under Apps > Chrome to confirm Google Chrome browser is installed on your Android deviceAffected if Chrome for Android is present on the device
-
Locate the Chrome version numberOpen Chrome, tap the three-dot menu, go to Settings > About Chrome to display the current version numberAffected if You can retrieve a version number from the About Chrome page
-
Compare version against affected rangeCompare your installed version to the vulnerable range: any version below 150.0.7871.47 is affectedAffected if The version shown is less than 150.0.7871.47 (for example, 150.0.7871.0 or earlier)
-
Confirm Canvas feature usageThe Canvas component is a standard HTML5 feature built into Chrome. Any web page using canvas elements (for example, games, graphics, video players) will trigger the vulnerable code path when processing uninitialized memoryAffected if The browser processes HTML content with Canvas elements, which is common in many websites and web apps
You are affected if Google Chrome for Android is installed and its version is below 150.0.7871.47, as the uninitialized memory read in the Canvas component can be triggered when browsing web content.
