CVE-2026-113331
Description
A flaw was found in chromium-browser. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to potentially execute arbitrary code inside the browser sandbox by enticing a user to visit a crafted HTML page. The issue stems from memory corruption within the browser's Controls component.
Statement
Red Hat has rated this vulnerability as Important severity rather than Critical because successful exploitation requires user interaction to visit a malicious webpage, and any resulting arbitrary code execution is confined to the client-side sandbox. The chromium package is not included in core Red Hat Enterprise Linux distributions, being available only through community channels such as EPEL and Fedora. Therefore, default enterprise server installations remain unexposed unless graphical desktop packages are manually introduced.

Availability
Technical Impact: DoS: Crash, Exit, or Restart
Attempting to access out-of-range, invalid, or unauthorized memory could cause the product to crash.
