CVE-2026-9111 is a critical use-after-free vulnerability in the WebRTC component of Google Chrome affecting Linux builds prior to 148.0.7778.179. The flaw arises from continued use of memory after it has been freed, creating a dangling pointer condition in Chrome's real-time communications subsystem. By causing the browser to process attacker-controlled web content, a remote attacker can influence heap state and trigger memory corruption, potentially redirecting execution flow. Successful exploitation is achieved via a crafted HTML page and can result in arbitrary code execution within the browser process.
