In a recent post on its official blog, Google revealed seven high-level tools discovered in Chrome and working on all operating systems (Android, Windows, iOS and Linux).

The company of course does not publish too much information about vulnerabilities trying to save time until most of its users inform.

He mentions but the following :

  • High — CVE--30598: Reported by Manfred Paul. Type Confusion in V8.
  • High - CVE-2021-30599: Reported by Manfred Paul. Type Confusion in V8.
  • High - CVE-2021-30600: Reported by 360 Alpha Lab. Use after free in Printing.
  • High - CVE-2021-30601: Reported by 360 Alpha Lab. Use after free in Extensions API.
  • High - CVE-2021-30602: Reported by Cisco Talos. Use after free in WebRTC.
  • High - CVE-2021-30603: Reported by Google Project Zero. Race in WebAudio.
  • High - CVE-2021-30604: Reported by SecunologyLab. Use after free in ANGLE.

All of the above vulnerabilities can be used by hackers to run code and gain control of a target computer or device.

Google urges all Chrome users to check if they have the latest of the browser.

Το Chrome είναι ένα από τα κορυφαία διαθέσιμα περιήγησης. Ωστόσο, δεν μπορούμε να αγνοήσουμε ότι αυτή είναι η τέταρτη φορά που αναφέρει ευπάθειες  μέσα σε δύο μήνες και το όγδοο 0day για φέτος. Ο αριθμός των επιθέσεων αυξάνεται σταθερά και μάλλον θα πρέπει να σκεφτείτε το ενδεχόμενο  να αλλάξετε πρόγραμμα περιήγησης.

Bonus Tip: Since Edge, Vivaldi, Opera etc are based on Chromium, which Chrome also uses, give Firefox a try.
