Details

It was discovered that Chromium did not properly manage memory in several
components. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to corrupt
memory via a crafted HTML page, resulting in a denial of service, or
possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-1528, CVE-2023-1530,
CVE-2023-1531, CVE-2023-1533, CVE-2023-1811, CVE-2023-1815, CVE-2023-1818)

It was discovered that Chromium could be made to access memory out of
bounds in WebHID. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to
corrupt memory via a malicious HID device, resulting in a denial of
service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-1529)

in the Extensions component. A remote attacker who convinced a user to
install a malicious extension could possibly use this issue to bypass file
access restrictions via a crafted HTML page. (CVE-2023-1813)

in the Safe Browsing component. A remote attacker could possibly use this
issue to bypass download checking via a crafted HTML page. (CVE-2023-1814)

It was discovered that Chromium contained an inappropriate implementation
in the Picture In Picture component. A remote attacker could possibly use
this issue to perform navigation spoofing via a crafted HTML page.
(CVE-2023-1816)

It was discovered that Chromium contained an inappropriate implementation
in the WebShare component. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue
to hide the contents of the Omnibox (URL bar) via a crafted HTML page.
(CVE-2023-1821)

It was discovered that Chromium contained an inappropriate implementation
in the Navigation component. A remote attacker could possibly use this
issue to perform domain spoofing via a crafted HTML page. (CVE-2023-1822)

It was discovered that Chromium contained an inappropriate implementation
in the FedCM component. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to
bypass navigation restrictions via a crafted HTML page. (CVE-2023-1823)
