Use after free in Tablet Mode in Google Chrome on Chrome OS prior to 102.0.5005.61 allowed a remote attacker who convinced a user to engage in specific user interactions to potentially exploit heap corruption via specific user interactions.
The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.
