Google Chrome emergency update fixes zero-day used in attacks

By Lawrence Abrams, Bleeping Computer

Google has released Chrome 100.0.4896.127 for Windows, Mac, and Linux, to fix a high-severity zero-day vulnerability actively used by threat actors in attacks.

"Google is aware that an exploit for CVE-2022-1364 exists in the wild," Google said in a security advisory released today.

While Google states that this Chrome update will roll out over the next few days/weeks, users can receive it immediately by going into the Chrome menu > Help > About Google Chrome.

The browser will also automatically check for new updates and install them the next time you close and relaunch Google Chrome.

As this bug is actively exploited in attacks, it is strongly advised that you perform a manual check for new updates and relaunch the browser to apply them.
