Google has rolled out an urgent security update for the Chrome browser to address eight high-severity vulnerabilities.<\/p>\n
These newly patched security flaws could allow threat actors to execute arbitrary code remotely, posing a significant risk to user data and system integrity.<\/a><\/p>\n The stable channel is currently receiving updates to version 146.0.7680.164 or 146.0.7680.165 for Windows and macOS users<\/a>.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Linux users will receive version 146.0.7680.164. Google expects these critical updates to reach all users over the coming days and weeks.<\/p>\n The latest patches resolve several dangerous memory management and processing errors within Chrome\u2019s underlying architecture.<\/p>\n Among the patched issues are \u201cUse-After-Free<\/a>\u201d vulnerabilities in components such as Dawn, WebGPU, and FedCM.<\/p>\n These specific flaws occur when a program continues to use a memory pointer after the memory has been freed, allowing attackers to inject and execute malicious payloads.<\/p>\n Additionally, Google addressed heap buffer overflows in WebAudio and WebGL, out-of-bounds reading flaws in CSS, and an integer overflow in the Fonts component.<\/p>\n When chained together or successfully exploited, these memory corruption vulnerabilities give cybercriminals a path to bypass browser security sandboxes and compromise the host machine entirely.<\/p>\n Google\u2019s development teams heavily rely on advanced testing tools<\/a> such as AddressSanitizer, MemorySanitizer, and libFuzzer to identify complex security bugs before they reach the stable channel.<\/p>\n The update addresses the following eight high-severity vulnerabilities:<\/p>\nChrome Security Update<\/strong><\/h2>\n
