by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the 2026_08_stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0404570826 advisory.

  - Use after free in DOM in Google Chrome prior to 151.0.7922.173 allowed a remote attacker to execute
    arbitrary code inside the sandbox via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)
    (CVE-2026-76021)

  - Use after free in Chromoting in Google Chrome prior to 151.0.7922.173 allowed a remote attacker to execute
    arbitrary code outside the sandbox via crafted network traffic. (Chromium security severity: Critical)
    (CVE-2026-76017)

  - Privilege elevation in Import in Google Chrome prior to 151.0.7922.173 allowed a remote attacker
    leveraging social engineering to potentially execute arbitrary code outside the sandbox via a crafted
    file. (Chromium security severity: High) (CVE-2026-76018)

  - Incorrect authorization in Workers in Google Chrome prior to 151.0.7922.173 allowed a remote attacker who
    had compromised the renderer process and leveraged social engineering to bypass web origin policy via a
    crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High) (CVE-2026-76019)

  - Race condition in V8 in Google Chrome prior to 151.0.7922.173 allowed a remote attacker to execute
    arbitrary code inside the sandbox via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)
    (CVE-2026-76020)
