Search giant Google has released an extremely important update for its Chrome internet browser, which has a large user base. The new version removes a dangerous “zero-day” vulnerability used in real cyber attacks.
Chrome 103.0.5060.114 update has been released to fix the vulnerability reference number CVE-2022-2294. The company recommends that the new version be installed immediately. Many people probably already have it installed because Chrome is automatically updated as soon as the browser is opened.
Affecting WebRTC component
The vulnerability affecting the WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication) component causes a buffer overflow issue. It should be noted that vulnerabilities in this class are used to crash programs, execute code, and bypass installed security software. So it can cause serious problems.
Google did not disclose the technical details of the fixed vulnerability, although it was actively exploited in the attacks. Most likely, the company wants the patch to reach all users. As we mentioned at the beginning, installing the latest Chrome update numbered 103.0.5060.114 is extremely important for your system security.
