Google has launched a new V8 sandbox feature in its Chrome browser to tackle memory corruption problems.

The sandbox works by isolating the V8 JavaScript engine's heap memory to enhance security against vulnerabilities.

Google's use of Kernel Address Sanitizer (KASan) is instrumental in identifying memory bugs in native code and strengthening Android security.

The V8 sandbox introduces a minimal performance overhead of 1% on average and is now enabled by default in 64-bit Chrome across various platforms for testing.

This innovation addresses the insufficiency of existing technologies to prevent memory corruption within V8, while safeguarding against attacks on the V8 Sandbox itself.
