Multiple Vulnerabilities in Google Chrome Browser
Multiple critical vulnerabilities have been discovered in the popular Google Chrome browser, affecting Windows, Linux, and Mac operating systems. The vulnerabilities could be exploited by a remote attacker who convinces a user to visit a specially designed web page with malicious intent.
The consequences of these vulnerabilities could be severe, allowing attackers to remotely execute code, manipulate data, and cause denial of service on the targeted system.
The vulnerabilities include type confusion in V8, use after free in media, and use after free in Guest View. These vulnerabilities could potentially allow an attacker to exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page.
Google has released an update to address these issues. Users are urged to update to version 114.0.5735.198/199 (Windows) or later, version 114.0.5735.198 (Linux) or later, or version 114.0.5735.198 (Mac) or later.
Users are advised to visit the Google Chrome software vendor website for more information before installing the software. It is crucial to update to the latest version to ensure that the vulnerabilities are fixed and to protect against potential attacks.
