Over the past month, Google released several updates for Chrome to address serious security vulnerabilities. These updates are not just routine—they are critical to preventing cyberattacks that can compromise your data and privacy.
In August 2024, Google issued three emergency updates for Chrome to fix vulnerabilities:
CVE-2024-7971: A type confusion flaw in Chrome’s V8 JavaScript engine that could allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. This vulnerability was actively exploited in the wild, making the update urgently necessary.
CVE-2024-7968 and CVE-2024-7967: Use-after-free and heap buffer overflow vulnerabilities that could be exploited to gain unauthorised access to systems or cause application crashes.
CVE-2024-7964 and CVE-2024-7965: Flaws that could potentially be exploited to perform remote code execution through specially crafted HTML pages.
These examples highlight the need for frequent updates: your browser—and your data—is at risk without them.
