Use after free in Accessibility in Google Chrome prior to 122.0.6261.57 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to potentially exploit heap corruption via specific UI gestures. (Chromium security severity: Medium)
The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory “belongs” to the code that operates on the new pointer.
