Security readout for executives and security teams
This is an old Google Chrome flaw where a race condition related to audio devices could let a remote attacker run code through the browser. The practical concern is legacy Chrome installations, not current managed Chrome deployments. Exposure is most likely on unmanaged, embedded, kiosk, lab, or legacy systems still running Chrome earlier than 22.0.1229.92. Treat this as a legacy-browser hygiene issue unless obsolete Chrome is still present. If found, remediation should be prompt because the impact is arbitrary code execution in a user-facing application. Mitigation focus: Upgrade any Chrome installation earlier than 22.0.1229.92.; Remove unsupported Chrome builds from managed endpoints.; Use browser management to enforce supported update channels..
