Google Patches Two Critical Memory Corruption Flaws in Chrome WebGL and Dawn Components

Google has issued a security update for Chrome that addresses 15 vulnerabilities, two of which are rated critical. The flaws, tracked as CVE-2026-76034 and CVE-2026-76036, involve buffer overflow conditions that can lead to out-of-bounds memory writes. CVE-2026-76034 affects the WebGL component used for 2D and 3D graphics rendering on web pages, while CVE-2026-76036 impacts Dawn, the Chromium implementation of WebGPU. Both issues were discovered internally and could result in crashes or remote code execution in certain scenarios. Updated versions are now available for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android, and users are strongly advised to apply the patches immediately.

Google has released a security update for Chrome that fixes 15 vulnerabilities, including two critical memory corruption flaws in the WebGL and Dawn components.

The most severe issues are identified as CVE-2026-76034 and CVE-2026-76036. Both are buffer overflow vulnerabilities that may allow writes outside the intended memory boundaries. CVE-2026-76034 resides in WebGL, the technology the browser uses to process 2D and 3D graphics on web pages and applications. The issue was reported internally by Google on 15 July.

CVE-2026-76036 affects Dawn, the Chromium implementation related to WebGPU. This interface provides web applications with more efficient access to device graphics resources and also processes content received during browsing. Memory corruption flaws in these components can cause crashes and, under specific conditions, open the door to remote code execution.

The critical rating increases the urgency for rapid updates on systems exposed to the web. Chrome has been updated to versions 151.0.7922.169/.170 on Windows and macOS and 151.0.7922.169 on Linux. Android received version 151.0.7922.169 with the same security fixes.
