**Description**
The issue is related to a use after free in Network Internals, which can be exploited by a remote attacker to potentially access confidential information or cause a denial of service. This can be achieved via a crafted HTML page, allowing for heap corruption.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 89.0.4389.72, update to version 89.0.4389.72 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to crafted HTML pages that could exploit the use after free in Network Internals until a patch is applied.
