Description
A use-after-free issue can occur in the chrome event handler when it is freed while still in use, resulting in a potentially exploitable crash. The vulnerability is related to a use-after-free error, which means that the software attempts to access memory that has already been freed. This can lead to a crash, potentially allowing a remote attacker to cause a denial of service during API handling.
