Google releases Urgent Update for Google Chrome
Last Friday, the search giant sent out emergency fixes to address a security vulnerability in Google Chrome that it says is being actively exploited.
The issue, attributed to identifier CVE-2022-3075, concerns a case of insufficient data validation in Mojo, which refers to a collection of runtime libraries that provide a platform-agnostic mechanism for inter-process communication (IPC ).
An anonymous researcher has been credited with reporting this high-severity failure on August 30, 2022.
“Google is aware of reports that an exploit exists for CVE-2022-3075,” the internet giant said, without delving into additional details about the nature of the attacks to prevent other threat actors from taking advantage of the flaw.
The latest update becomes the sixth zero-day vulnerability discovered in Google Chrome since the start of the year:
