In short

A flaw in Chrome's Mojo messaging system on Windows allows an attacker to bypass the browser's sandbox protection by tricking Chrome into processing a specially crafted file, potentially gaining full access to the infected computer.

Technical detail

An incorrect handle management vulnerability in Mojo (Chrome's inter-process communication framework) on Windows permits remote code execution outside the sandbox context. The attack vector involves delivery of a malicious file that exploits improper handle validation; successful exploitation requires user interaction to open the file and results in complete sandbox escape with system-level privileges.
