CVE-2019-5798

24
FAUCET Score

CVE-2019-5798 is a medium-severity vulnerability in Google Chrome (prior to version 73.0.3683.75) and its derivatives (e.g., Debian, Red Hat, SUSE) caused by insufficient bounds checking in the Skia graphics engine, allowing a remote attacker to perform an out-of-bounds memory read via a crafted HTML page. The attack requires user interaction (visiting a malicious page) but has low attack complexity, potentially leading to high confidentiality impact. While no public exploit code or active exploitation has been observed, the vulnerability has received some community discussion and media coverage.
