02 Nov Security Stop-Press : Urgent Patch Issued For Chrome
Google has rolled-out an emergency security update for its Chrome web browser to fix an exploited zero-day “confusion” flaw in in the V8 JavaScript engine, i.e. a confusion between object types in the part that executes JavaScript code. For this (seventh) zero-day in Google Chrome since the start of 2022, the advice to users is to upgrade to version 107.0.5304.87 for macOS and Linux, and 107.0.5304.87/.88 for Windows to mitigate potential threats. Users of Chromium-based browsers – Edge, Brave, Opera, and Vivaldi – are also advised to apply the fixes.
