Google releases major security update for Chrome: Here’s how to update

Google has released an important security update for its Chrome browser. The update fixes two serious security vulnerabilities classified as high risk. One such vulnerability is CVE-2024-6990 – a memory flaw in the browser’s web graphics. The flaw can be exploited by a hacker to destabilize the victim’s computer and execute malicious code. Another vulnerability is related to the Dawn vulnerability, which concerns “insufficient data validation.”
Google has released stable version 127.0.6533.88/89 Google Chrome for Windows and Mac users. However, Google has not shared many details about this. In the Chrome release blog , Google explained that “access to bug details and links may be limited until most users receive an update with a fix. We will also maintain restrictions if the bug occurs in a third-party library that other projects depend on but that we have not yet fixed.”
