It appears to affect all Chromium-based browsers, including Opera and Brave.\u00a0Details on the vulnerability are slim, as Google doesn\u2019t want to share any information that may be useful to hackers.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Access to bug details and links may be kept restricted until a majority of users are updated with a fix. We will also retain restrictions if the bug exists in a third party library that other projects similarly depend on, but haven\u2019t yet fixed.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>We\u00a0<em>do<\/em> know that\u00a0CVE-2022-1096 allows for \u201ctype-confusion\u201d attacks in the V8 Javascript engine. Like all things Javascript, this is a bit difficult to explain, and Google is being pretty tight-lipped. So, here\u2019s the gist; hackers can confuse the V8 engine, forcing it to read and write data on your machine without permission.<\/p>\n<p>Google will reveal more information on this vulnerability once a majority of its users install the emergency update. The company will also wait for other Chromium browsers to patch the problem\u2014Microsoft Edge is rolling out its fix, but competitors like Brave and Opera are still working on it.<\/p>\n<p>Both Chrome and Edge are\u00a0<em>supposed<\/em> to update automatically. That said, you should paste\u00a0chrome:\/\/settings\/help or\u00a0edge:\/\/settings\/help in your address bar to see that you\u2019re running version\u00a099.0.4844.84 of Chrome or version\u00a099.0.1150.55 of Microsoft Edge.<\/p>\n<p><small>Source: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/chromereleases.googleblog.com\/2022\/03\/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_25.html\">Google<\/a> via <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/daveywinder\/2022\/03\/26\/google-confirms-emergency-security-update-for-32-billion-chrome-users-attacks-underway\/?sh=72970b58aaa2\">Forbes<\/a><\/small>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\nsetTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '1137093656460433');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
