Google Patched Critical Chrome Vulnerability Leads to Browser Crash
31-July-24
Google has released a critical security update for Chrome, addressing severe flaws that could cause crashes or enable malicious activities. The update, available on the Stable channel, brings Chrome to version 127.0.6533.88/89 for Windows and Mac, and 127.0.6533.88 for Linux. It includes three significant security fixes: a critical uninitialized use flaw in Dawn (CVE-2024-6990), and two high-severity issues—an out-of-bounds read in WebTransport (CVE-2024-7255) and insufficient data validation in Dawn (CVE-2024-7256). Google restricts detailed vulnerability information until most users have updated to prevent exploitation and urges users to verify their browser version to ensure protection.
