Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Google Chrome versions prior to 101.0.4951.41

Description The issue is related to a use after free vulnerability in the Browser Switcher extension, which can lead to heap corruption. This can be exploited by a remote attacker who convinces a user to engage in specific interactions via a crafted HTML page, potentially allowing the attacker to disclose protected information.

Recommendations For Google Chrome versions prior to 101.0.4951.41, update to version 101.0.4951.41 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the Browser Switcher extension until a patch is applied. Restrict access to crafted HTML pages to minimize the risk of exploitation.
