CERT-In urges Google Chrome users to immediately update their browser
By MYBRANDBOOK
The IT Ministry's Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) issued an urgent security warning for Google Chrome users.
The CERT-In has warned Chrome users of multiple vulnerabilities, which could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code, bypass security restrictions or cause a denial-of-service condition on the targeted system.
The cyber community said that it is due to “Use after free in Blink Layout, Extensions, Safe Browsing, Splitscreen, ANGLE, New Tab Page, Browser UI and Heap buffer overflow on GPU”.
CERT-In wants users who are using the Chrome version prior to 99.0.4844.74 to immediately update their browser to the latest version by following some steps. Last week, CERT-In issued an urgent security warning for Mozilla Firefox users in the country.
Follow the steps mentioned below to upgrade your Google Chrome browser to the latest version:
Open Google Chrome on your system.
Head over to the top-right corner of your screen and click on 'More' option.
Then click on the 'Help' option. And then 'About Chrome'.
You will then need to click on Update Google Chrome. Notably, if you can’t find the option, you are already using the latest version.
Lastly, click on the 'Relaunch' option.
CERT-In urged affected users to immediately upgrade their Mozilla Firefox version to Firefox 98, Firefox ESR 91.7and Thunderbird 91.7 by the following steps:
Click the menu button on the right side of the Firefox toolbar.
Click on the Help option.
Select the About Firefox option.
If an update is available, the browser will automatically download it. If your browser is running the latest version, it will inform you about the same.
Once the update is installed, restart the browser.
