Google releases new Chrome security update for desktop users

Google is rolling out an important update for Google Chrome’s desktop client to address a highly dangerous zero-day vulnerability. Google says the Chrome desktop app for Mac, Linux, and Windows has been updated to version 105.0.5195.102 to patch the CVE-2022-3075 vulnerability.

 

It is the sixth zero-day vulnerability that Google patched since the start of the year. The zero-day vulnerability concerns a case of insufficient data validating in Mojo. This refers to a collection of runtime libraries that provide a platform-agnostic mechanism for inter-process communication (IPC).

 

Google said it is aware that an exploit for CVE-2022-3075 exists in the wild, and the latest update should address it. “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’t yet fixed,” Google said in a security update.

 

Google is advising users to update their browsers as soon as possible to ensure their online safety. To check the Google Chrome version on desktop, open the browser > Click on the three dots at the top left > Settings > About Chrome. Chrome indicates when there’s an update available via a green icon next to the URL bar. To manually check availability, users can head to the same section.
