Use-after-free in Google Chrome Permissions on Android
CVE-2026-6315 is a high-severity use-after-free vulnerability in the Permissions component of Google Chrome. The issue affects Google Chrome on Android prior to version 147.0.7727.101, and the supporting content indicates the vulnerable Permissions code is shared across Chromium-based desktop builds that were also patched in the same release. The flaw arises from a memory object in the Permissions component being freed while a stale reference is retained and later dereferenced, creating a classic use-after-free condition. A remote attacker can trigger the bug using a crafted HTML page, but successful exploitation requires convincing the victim to perform specific UI gestures; page load alone is not sufficient. The exact gestures are not publicly documented. If the freed memory is reoccupied with attacker-controlled data through heap manipulation, the condition can be turned into arbitrary code execution in the Chrome browser process.
