It’s been less than two weeks, and we’re already talking about another critical Chrome update.
To be honest, though, good on Google for staying on top of these things: Sometimes, we find out a company sat on critical security vulnerabilities for months without issuing a new update. At least here, we have a good chance to protect our Chrome use from would-be hackers.
Google announced the update in a blog post on Tuesday, April 26. This new version of Chrome is 101.0.4951.41, and is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. The update patches 30 security vulnerabilities, including seven rated as “high.” Five of those vulnerabilities (plus an additional six rated “medium”) are “Use after free” flaws, which, thanks to a memory relocation issue, can allow hackers to pass arbitrary code to a program.
Here are the seven “high” vulnerabilities. You can find a full list of the other 23 on Google’s Chrome Releases blog post:
