What did CERT-In say in its advisory?
The agency issued an advisory on June 19 and said that these vulnerabilities exist due to reasons such as type confusion in V8 in Google Chrome and incorrect implementation in Web Assembly. It said that these vulnerabilities can be exploited by a remote attacker by tricking the victim into visiting a specially crafted web page. If the attacker is successful in exploiting these vulnerabilities, then the remote attacker can be allowed to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
CERT-In has also identified critical vulnerabilities in Google Pixel smartphones. Pixel 5a 5G, Pixel 6a, Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro, Pixel 7a, Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro, Pixel 8a, and Pixel Fold are affected by the security flaw.
These vulnerabilities in Pixel devices originate from incorrect input validation within various components such as Exynos RIL, Modem, LWIS, ACPM, fingerprint sensor, telephony, audio, WLAN HOST, Trusty OS, Pixel firmware, LDFW, Trusty/TEE, Goodix, Mali, avcp, confirmationui, CPIF, v4l2, and GsmSs.
