Google has rolled-out an emergency security update for its Chrome web browser to fix an exploited zero-day “confusion” flaw in in the V8 JavaScript engine, i.e. a confusion between object types in the part that executes JavaScript code. For this (seventh) zero-day in Google Chrome since the start of 2022, the advice to users is to upgrade to version 107.0.5304.87 for macOS and Linux, and 107.0.5304.87/.88 for Windows to mitigate potential threats. Users of Chromium-based browsers – Edge, Brave, Opera, and Vivaldi – are also advised to apply the fixes.
As key project members in many of our IT projects whether, actively assisted or simply advised what they do not know about IT, in our opinion isn’t worth knowing!
