Google has released new security updates for Chrome on desktop and mobile, addressing critical vulnerabilities that could potentially compromise user data or disrupt services. The updates will be rolled out gradually over the next few days or weeks.
The latest version for Windows, Mac, and Linux is 127.0.6533.88/89, while Android users will receive version 127.0.6533.84. Both updates include performance and stability improvements, as well as fixes for security issues.
One critical vulnerability in Chrome’s WebGPU implementation “Dawn” (CVE-2024-6990) has been addressed, along with high-risk vulnerabilities stemming from insufficient data validation (CVE-2024-7256) and weaknesses in WebTransport (CVE-2024-7255).
While there is no evidence of active exploitation, users are advised to update their Chrome browsers immediately to stay protected. It is important to stay informed about security updates and install them promptly to reduce the likelihood of being targeted by hackers or malware.
