Tobias Wienand discovered a memory corruption issue that resulted in a $33,000 bug bounty. A heap buffer overflow happens when a program exceeds the allocated memory size.
Threat actors can take advantage of this flaw to overwrite nearby memory, which may allow remote code execution (RCE) just by visiting a malicious web page.

Google awarded over $150,000 in total bug bounties to independent researchers who found these issues before they could be exploited.
Google limits access to certain bug details and exploit links to protect users until most have updated their browsers. This stops attackers from reverse-engineering patches to exploit vulnerable users. With increasing attacks on web browsers, timely security updates are crucial for individuals and organizations to fend off advanced threats.
