CERT-In Warns Google Chrome Users About High-Risk Vulnerabilities

The Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) has issued a high-severity security advisory warning millions of desktop Google Chrome users about multiple critical vulnerabilities.

CERT-In explained that the vulnerabilities stem from memory management issues, specifically 'use-after-free' errors within core components of the browser, including V8, TabStrip, HTML, Extensions, and Blink.

A remote attacker can exploit these flaws by tricking a user into clicking a malicious link or visiting a specially crafted web page.

The affected versions include desktop users running outdated versions of the browser: Windows and macOS builds prior to 151.0.7922.137/.138, and Linux builds prior to 151.0.7922.137.
