The Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) has issued a high-severity warning concerning vulnerabilities in Google ChromeOS. These vulnerabilities, identified in the LTS channel, could potentially allow attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected systems. CERT-In, operating under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, serves as the national agency for responding to significant cybersecurity incidents.

According to the advisory released on July 1, the vulnerabilities affect Google ChromeOS versions prior to 120.0.6099.315 (Platform Version: 15662.112). Specifically, the issues involve Heap buffer overflow in WebRTC and Use after free in Media Session, posing risks when users visit maliciously crafted web pages.
