Chrome 151\u2019s latest stable-channel update delivers patches for 382 security vulnerabilities, including 15 critical bugs that can be weaponized for remote code execution and full browser compromise if left unpatched.<\/p>\n
Google is rolling this update out for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Chrome for iOS, with security fixes spanning almost every core component of the browser stack.<\/p>\n
According to Google\u2019s release notes, Chrome 151 (with desktop build 150.0.7871.46) includes 382 distinct security fixes covered under the Chrome Vulnerability Rewards Program<\/a>.<\/p>\n Bug details remain partially restricted until the majority of users receive the update, in line with Google\u2019s standard coordinated disclosure process.<\/p>\n The patch set addresses vulnerabilities ranging from critical remote code-execution issues to low\u2011severity UI and policy-enforcement flaws affecting web, graphics, casting, networking, and iOS-specific components.<\/p>\n Many of these bugs were identified internally by Google using modern memory\u2011safety tooling such as AddressSanitizer, MemorySanitizer, UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer, and fuzzing frameworks.<\/p>\n Google classifies 15 of the fixed vulnerabilities as critical, with most described as \u201cuse after free<\/a>\u201d issues in high\u2011risk components such as Extensions, GPU, WebUSB, Browser, Views, Bluetooth, Chromoting, and Ozone.<\/p>\n These memory\u2011corruption flaws can often be chained to achieve arbitrary code execution in the browser or underlying OS context when a user visits a maliciously crafted page or interacts with attacker\u2011controlled content.<\/p>\n The critical set also includes type confusion and insufficient validation of untrusted input in rendering and graphics subsystems such as Dawn, ANGLE, and Skia<\/a>, as well as in iOSWeb\u2019s input handling.<\/p>\n Exploiting these bugs could allow attackers to bypass sandbox boundaries, trigger heap corruption, or hijack control flow, greatly increasing the risk of drive\u2011by compromise scenarios.<\/p>\n Beyond the 15 critical issues, Google fixed a large number of high\u2011severity vulnerabilities<\/a> across areas such as Chromecast, QUIC, Updater, SVG, Chrome for iOS, Safe Browsing, Accessibility, Canvas, File Input, and enterprise\u2011focused features.<\/p>\n Many of these are also use\u2011after\u2011free, heap buffer overflow, integer overflow, or insufficient policy enforcement issues that can facilitate information disclosure, privilege escalation, or sandbox escape in realistic attack chains.<\/p>\n The update further addresses hundreds of medium\u2011severity flaws touching Web Authentication, WebHID, WebXR, DevTools, Autofill, Passwords, PDF, Codecs, Fonts, and various UI components.<\/p>\n While individually less impactful, these bugs collectively expand Chrome\u2019s attack surface and can be chained with other vulnerabilities to improve exploit reliability or bypass security prompts and indicators.<\/p>\n Google also ships dozens of low\u2011severity fixes focused on incorrect security UI, policy bypasses, and insufficient validation in components such as SplitView, WebXR, Network, WebNN, Chrome for iOS, TabStrip, Storage, GamepadAPI, History Embeddings, and newer AI- and credential\u2011related features.<\/p>\n These issues often contribute to user deception, inconsistent security states, or subtle sandbox and permission bypasses rather than direct code execution.<\/p>\nChrome Update Patches 382 Vulnerabilities<\/strong><\/h2>\n
