A race condition Use-After-Free vulnerability exists in the virtio_transport_space_update function within the Kernel 5.4 on ChromeOS. Concurrent allocation and freeing of the virtio_vsock_sock structure during an AF_VSOCK connect syscall can occur before a worker thread accesses it resulting in a dangling pointer and potential kernel code execution.

Grounded briefings

Catalog interpretations for three audiences. Each brief cites ingested metadata and the original advisories below. They are not independent research and they do not invent exploit steps.

Executive

CVE-2025-1290 is a high public vulnerability record for Google ChromeOS. It is not currently listed in the CISA Known Exploited catalog. Check the linked vendor or CERT advisories for patch status. This summary is a catalog interpretation of the ingested metadata and cites the original advisories below.

System administrator

Identify whether Google ChromeOS is in your estate, then compare installed versions with the affected ranges. Affected packages or ranges on record: Google ChromeOS 115.0.5790.182 <115.0.5790.182 (115.0.5790.182 <115.0.5790.182). Check the linked vendor or CERT advisories for patch status. Prefer the vendor or distribution advisory linked in Sources before changing production systems. This is a catalog interpretation, not a runbook.

Security analyst

Signals on file: CVSS 8.1, EPSS 27.0%. It is not currently listed in the CISA Known Exploited catalog. Sources contributing to this record: euvd. Public exploit references, when present, are outbound links only and are not proof of active exploitation. This is a catalog interpretation of stored metadata.
