Doc Text:
A flaw was found in Aura, a component within Google Chrome. This vulnerability, known as a 'use-after-free,' occurs when a program attempts to use memory after it has been freed, which can lead to unpredictable behavior. A remote attacker could exploit this by tricking a user into visiting a specially crafted web page. Successful exploitation could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code outside the browser's security sandbox, potentially compromising the user's system.
