electron is vulnerable to Use After Free
88
High Risk
This Affects:
electronTL;DR
electron's embedded ANGLE GPU stack on Windows can free GPU resources while D3D11 transform-feedback state still references them. Remote pages that exercise GPU code paths can trigger the use-after-free. Pre-fix versions risk sandboxed arbitrary code execution through crafted HTML. The backport corrects buffer state tracking in transform feedback.
Who does this affect?
You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range and ship electron desktop apps on Windows.
Background info
electron is vulnerable to Use After Free in versions 40.0.0 - 40.10.2.
