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.

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.
