The "use after free" vulnerability stems from a weakness in WebGL (a web graphics library) - a JavaScript API for rendering interactive 2D and 3D graphics in the browser. If successfully exploited this vulnerability, hackers can break the structure and modify the data in Chrome's executable memory. The hacker can then take over and perform remote code execution attacks on the affected victim's computer or software.
