I am currently using dual-boot. I am still using Windows and Ubuntu because they are relevant! However, I just recently thought that I needed to shift to Ubuntu from Windows because of the better developer environment fully instead of relying on dual boot! So I am focusing on Ubuntu properly and learning things like how Linux works! Recently I noticed a very strange thing Google Chrome was using so much CPU without any reason. Even opening an empty tab was causing so many issues like it was not smooth, eating lots of CPU which is strange! Because I have been using Ubuntu since 2024 and I haven't gone through this kind of experience! Google Chrome was very smooth and ran properly every time! So I thought maybe it's the extension(I use lots of them) that's causing the issue! So disabled some extensions which I used barely and interesting the problem didn't go away! I had no idea why that was happening as I update every package repository when I start the machine! So there's no way that I got any dependencies issue or something! I was facing this issue in Chrome (133.0.6943.98). So I started updating my packages and I saw a new update was available for Chrome (133.0.6943.121) and I experienced the problem was gone!
The problem was from Chrome itself! And here's what I found today from Chrome Release Blogs:
[TBD][[383465163](https://issues.chromium.org/issues/383465163)] High CVE-2025-1426: Heap buffer overflow in GPU. Reported by un3xploitable && GF on 2024-12-11
Heap buffer overflow in GPU! So what I found out from my machine is I don't have any GPU, I use a very low-configuration PC. But I was using this feature Use graphics acceleration when available. And that's the reason it was using my built-in GPU(actually CPU) so aggressively! But the problem is gone now! Those whoever is still facing this issue, I prefer to rollback to older version!
