CVE-2026-113222
Description
A flaw was found in Chromium's V8 engine. A remote attacker could exploit this use-after-free vulnerability by convincing a user to visit a specially crafted HTML page. Successful exploitation could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code outside the browser sandbox.
Statement
Red Hat has rated this vulnerability as Important because successful exploitation can allow an attacker to escape the browser sandbox and execute arbitrary code, although it requires user interaction to load untrusted web content. Chromium is not shipped or supported within core Red Hat Enterprise Linux releases and is only distributed through community channels such as EPEL and Fedora. Consequently, default Red Hat enterprise installations do not include this software and remain unaffected.
