Vulnerability Data

Out of bounds read in GWP-ASan in Google Chrome prior to 149.0.7827.53 allowed a local attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information from process memory via a malicious file. (Chromium security severity: Medium)

CWE(s)

Related Threats

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1005 Data from Local System Collection
Adversaries may search local system sources, such as file systems, configuration files, local databases, virtual machine files, or process memory, to find files of interest and sensitive data prior to Exfiltration.
T1555.003 Credentials from Web Browsers Credential Access
Adversaries may acquire credentials from web browsers by reading files specific to the target browser.
Why these techniques?

OOB read enables local memory disclosure from Chrome process via malicious file, directly facilitating data collection from local system/browser credential stores.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

prevent

Directly implements memory protections that block out-of-bounds reads from process memory, addressing the root cause of this GWP-ASan information disclosure.

prevent

Requires timely application of the vendor patch that eliminates the out-of-bounds read in Chrome GWP-ASan.

prevent

Process isolation limits the scope of memory that a local attacker can read after triggering the flaw via a malicious file.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure-development practices such as bounds checking and memory-safe languages directly prevent out-of-bounds reads.

ID.RA-01 partial match
prevents

Vulnerability scanning and recording can discover instances of out-of-bounds reads after code is deployed.

PR.PS-02 partial match
prevents

Routine patching replaces vulnerable code containing out-of-bounds read flaws.

detects

Security testing in development and acceptance includes fuzzing and static analysis that detect out-of-bounds read defects before release.

A.8.15 Logging partial match
detects

Logging can record evidence of an out-of-bounds read but does not prevent the weakness itself.

prevents

Secure development life cycle mandates input validation and bounds checking that directly prevent out-of-bounds reads.

prevents

Application security requirements include explicit bounds and memory-safety specifications that mitigate buffer over-reads.

prevents

Secure system architecture and engineering principles require memory-safe design patterns and runtime protections against out-of-bounds access.

prevents

Secure coding standards explicitly forbid unsafe pointer arithmetic and mandate bounds-checked reads, eliminating CWE-125.
