Mac Users Have Another Emergency Chrome Update To Install – SlashGear

Needless to say, if you haven’t updated Chrome on your Mac, you will need to do so as soon as possible. Click the three dots in the right corner of Google Chrome and navigate to “Help.” Once you hover the cursor over “Help,” you click on the option that says “About Google Chrome.” The browser should perform an automatic update and install any new update available. Once the installation is complete, you may see a message that reads, “Nearly up to date! Relaunch Chrome to finish updating.” You may be required to close all instances of Google Chrome and relaunch the browser for the update to take effect. Once updated, ensure that your browser is on version 107.0.5304.122 for Mac and Linux systems.

In its release notes, Google describes this vulnerability as a “heap buffer overflow” which falls in the category of a memory vulnerability. Hackers may use this vulnerability to gain access to Chrome’s memory and manipulate its execution patch. In addition, this vulnerability could also be potentially used to siphon off data or perform an arbitrary code execution, reports Bleeping Computer. We expect Google to share more details surrounding this latest security vulnerability in the next few weeks.
