CVE-2026-41157 Imagination Technologies CVE debrief
CVE-2026-41157 is an out-of-bound write vulnerability in the GPU user-space driver. A web page with unusual WebGPU content can trigger memory corruption and a possible browser/GPU process crash. The vulnerability occurs when the software computes a required memory size from untrusted input, but an integer overflow produces a value smaller than needed. Subsequent write operations may then occur past the intended memory boundary, corrupting adjacent memory and causing process instability or termination.
