Google patches browser flaws after one was exploited
Google has issued fixes for several Chrome security bugs, including one it says was already being used in attacks.
Google has released updates for multiple browser vulnerabilities in Chrome after identifying one flaw that was under active exploitation, according to security reporting on Thursday. The company did not disclose the technical details of the bug.
The patch comes as users are being urged to install the latest version quickly to reduce the risk of attack. Security researchers often withhold some specifics until more people have updated, to limit the chance of copycat abuse.
Google has not said who was behind the exploitation or how widely the flaw had been used. The company’s warning adds to a steady stream of browser security fixes that users are asked to apply as soon as they become available.
Chrome remains one of the most widely used browsers, which makes any exploited weakness a broad concern for personal and workplace devices alike.
