CVE-2026-85050
Description
A flaw was found in chromium-browser. An out-of-bounds write vulnerability in WebGL, a web graphics library, in Google Chrome on Android allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code outside of the browser's security sandbox. This can be exploited by enticing a user to visit a specially crafted HTML page.
Statement
This vulnerability is rated as Important because successful exploitation allows a remote attacker to escape the browser sandbox and execute arbitrary code, though it requires enticing a user to open a malicious web page. Red Hat Enterprise Linux does not distribute Chromium in core base repositories, as packages are only provided via community channels such as EPEL. Consequently, default enterprise installations are not exposed unless community browser packages are explicitly installed.
