electron is vulnerable to Use After Free
88
High Risk
This Affects:
electronTL;DR
electron's embedded Chromium QUIC networking stack can use QUIC proxy socket memory after it is freed when handling malicious network traffic. Remote attackers can reach the faulty datagram client socket lifetime through QUIC-enabled connections. Pre-fix builds risk sandboxed code execution from network input. The backport adds advanced memory-safety checks on the vulnerable QUIC class as shipped upstream on Chrome stable.
