In short

Google Chrome had a flaw where it didn't properly check data from websites, allowing an attacker to create a malicious webpage that could break out of Chrome's security sandbox. This is serious because it could let attackers access files and programs on your computer.

Technical detail

Insufficient input validation in ANGLE and GPU processing allowed remote code execution with sandbox escape via crafted HTML. Attack requires user interaction (visiting a malicious webpage); successful exploitation bypasses Chrome's sandbox isolation, potentially granting attacker access to system resources beyond the browser process.
