Google has unveiled support for the V8 Sandbox in its Chrome web browser, aiming to combat memory corruption issues. According to Samuel Groß, the V8 Security technical lead, the sandbox prevents the spread of memory corruption within the host process. 

Described as a lightweight, in-process sandbox for the JavaScript and WebAssembly engine, the V8 Sandbox mitigates common vulnerabilities. It restricts V8 code execution to a subset of the process's virtual address space, isolating it from the rest of the process to limit vulnerability impact. These vulnerabilities have comprised a significant portion of Google's addressed zero-day vulnerabilities, with up to 16 security flaws discovered between 2021 and 2023. 

The sandbox assumes attackers can arbitrarily modify memory inside the sandbox address space and aims to protect...
