When the release() callback on a paint event texture is invoked after the associated native backing has been freed, the main process dereferences invalid memory.

Because the flaw requires the application to employ offscreen rendering with shared textures, the likelihood of exploitation in the wild is limited. Attackers would need to trigger the release() callback after the texture\u2019s native state has been freed, which is dependent on the app\u2019s rendering logic.
