Two Chrome updates in two days fix critical vulnerabilities


Updating Chrome is becoming an almost daily task lately. But it’s too important to ignore.

On Wednesday, July 8, Google released another Chrome update, just one day later after the previous one.

Between them, the two updates fixed 27 security vulnerabilities, including two critical flaws that could be exploited to compromise Chrome. Google says both are “use-after-free” memory vulnerabilities, which can sometimes allow attackers to run malicious code. Google has not reported any of these vulnerabilities as being actively exploited.

The Stable channel has been updated to 150.0.7871.114/.115 for Windows and macOS, and 150.0.7871.114 for Linux. The updates will roll out over the coming days and weeks.
