chromium-browser: Google Chrome: Sandbox escape via use-after-free in Media component
Use after free in Media in Google Chrome on Windows prior to 151.0.7922.109 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to potentially perform a sandbox escape via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)
A flaw was found in the Media component of Google Chrome. This use-after-free vulnerability could allow a remote attacker, who has already compromised the renderer process, to potentially escape the browser's sandbox. This could be achieved by enticing a user to visit a specially crafted HTML page, leading to a higher level of system access.
Statement: Important: A use-after-free vulnerability in the Media component of Chromium can lead to a sandbox escape. This f

CVE-2026-68821 [HIGH] Patch Tuesday - August 2026
Microsoft is publishing 421 vulnerabilities on August 2026 Patch Tuesday , including 236 vulnerabilities in Windows. This is lower volume than last month’s record-breaking behemoth, but still one of the largest Patch Tuesday totals ever. There is no reason to suppose that Patch Tuesday will ever return to the lower volumes we saw prior to 2026. Microsoft is aware of exploitation in the wild for one of the vulnerabilities published today, as well as public disclosure for two others, although the Notable CVEs section of the Security Update Guide omits one of these. As usual, browser vulns are not included in the Patch Tuesday count above, but unusually, Microsoft does not appear to have published any desktop browser security patches so far this month.
