Users should update their Chrome browsers to version 151.0.7922.108/.109 on their respective platforms as soon as possible. This update contains official fixes for all identified vulnerabilities. No additional mitigation steps are indicated by the vendor.

Description

The browser refresh eliminates over two dozen memory safety bugs, including critical use-after-free flaws. The post Critical Vulnerabilities Patched With Chrome 151 Update appeared first on SecurityWeek .

Impact

Exploitation of these vulnerabilities could lead to data corruption, application crashes, or arbitrary code execution within the Chrome browser. The critical use-after-free and out-of-bounds write bugs pose a significant risk of remote code execution. However, there are no reports of these vulnerabilities being exploited in the wild at this time.

Summary

The Chrome 151 update fixes 41 security vulnerabilities, including 6 critical and 35 high-severity flaws. Among the critical issues are five use-after-free vulnerabilities in WebGL, Aura, Skia, and Views, plus an out-of-bounds write in the ANGLE graphics engine. The majority of the remaining vulnerabilities are memory safety bugs such as buffer overflows and uninitialized use defects. Other flaws include insufficient input validation, race conditions, and integer overflows. Google credited both internal and external researchers for these findings. The update is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux platforms.
