The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the Mojo IPC component in Google Chrome. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted web page, trick the victim into visiting it, trigger use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

2) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-4436)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the Blink Media component in Google Chrome. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted web page, trick the victim into visiting it, trigger use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

3) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-42720)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error in the mac80211 stack in Linux kernel when parsing a multi-BSS element. A remote attacker on the local network can send specially crafted WLAN frames to the affected system, trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code.

4) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-41674)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing WLAN frames within the ieee80211_bss_info_update() function in net/mac80211/scan.c in Linux kernel. A remote attacker on the local network can send specially crafted WLAN frames to the affected system, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.

5) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-42719)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error in the mac80211 stack in Linux kernel when parsing a multi-BSSID element. A remote attacker on the local network can send specially crafted WLAN frames to the affected system, trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code.
