Two critical Chrome flaws put users at risk on malicious websites


Chrome is rolling out an update for its desktop browser. The update includes 26 security fixes, two of which Google rates as critical use-after-free vulnerabilities. The Stable channel has been updated to 152.0.7977.75/.76 for Windows and Mac, and 152.0.7977.75 for Linux.

How to update Chrome

The easiest option is to allow Chrome to update automatically. But you can end up lagging behind if you never close your browser or if something goes wrong with the update. To update manually, click the More menu (three dots), then go to Settings > About Chrome. If an update is available, Chrome will start downloading it automatically. Restart Chrome to complete the update, and you’ll be protected against these vulnerabilities.
