This has been a nightmare week for Google and its more than 2 billion desktop Chrome users. The US government has added a third serious zero-day security threat to its central catalog of vulnerabilities that are known to be behind active attacks. Now, six further vulnerabilities have also just been fixed.Jaap Arriens/NurPhotoWhat a week this has been for Google Chrome.
Use after free and type confusion issues impacting the core JavaScript engine are common, and Google has acknowledged as much. The two heap overflow issues are variations on the same memory theme. An out of bounds issue risks exposing sensitive information that should not be available while also risking a system or software crash that might allow an attacker to access that data., Google also warned that “an exploit for CVE-2024-4947 exists in the wild.” This was another memory issue, a “type confusion” vulnerability, which again exposes users to a crafted HTML page attack.
Most users will have Chrome set to update automatically, which it should always do for security updates of this kind anyway. But that’s not enough in itself. You should always fully close and relaunch Chrome to ensure the update has fully installed. US federal agencies have until 3rd, 6th and 10th June respectively to “apply mitigations per vendor instructions or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.”
Chrome isn’t Workspace and the white paper focused on sophisticated cyber attacks rather than merely exploited vulnerabilities. But let’s remember, one leads to the other.
