This repository is a proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit for a vulnerability in the GPU process of Google Chrome/Chromium (fixed in version 128). The repository contains four files: a README.md with instructions, a chromium.diff patch to modify the browser's rasterization code, a Python script (genskpic.py) that generates a malicious Skia picture header file (drawable_picture.skp.hh), and an index.html file that triggers the vulnerability via JavaScript canvas operations. The exploit works by patching Chromium with the provided diff, generating and placing the crafted Skia picture file, building the browser, and then opening the HTML file, which causes the GPU process to crash. This demonstrates a denial-of-service condition and is a typical browser-based exploit PoC targeting the GPU rasterization pipeline. No remote network endpoints are involved; the attack is triggered locally via a crafted web page.
