According to the company, Google has discovered 28 unique Chrome hacks, nine of which are classified as “High” risk. All 28 assaults target Chrome on all major platforms: Windows, Mac, and Linux.

HIGHLIGHTS

• An urgent security warning from the CERT-In has been issued for Google Chrome users in the country.
• The security firm is urging Google Chrome users who were using the version 4-6.0 to upgrade immediately.
• Last weekend, CERT-In warned Mozilla Firefox users in the country about a serious vulnerability.

Last Friday, the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) released a crucial security warning for Firefox users in the country. There’s another notice for Chrome users out there. The security firm CERT-In urges users to update their Chrome browser to the most recent version, beginning with 99.0.4844.74, as soon as possible in order to avoid any potential risks.

The CERT-In has informed Chrome users of several vulnerabilities, “which might allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code, bypass security restrictions, or cause a denial of service condition on the targeted system.” In Google Chrome, there are lots of security concerns due to “Use after free in Blink Layout, Extensions, Safe Browsing, Splitscreen, ANGLE, New Tab Page, Browser UI and Heap buffer overflow on GPU.”

According to CERT-In, attackers can use these flaws to “gain unauthorized access to the system, execute arbitrary code, or cause a denial of service condition” on the target system. The breach has yet to be revealed by the US-based technology giant.

How to update the Google Chrome browser

Users of Chrome version before 99.0.4844.74 who are using the most recent update should upgrade their browser right away. To install the latest version of Google Chrome, follow these steps:

Step 1: On your system, open Google Chrome.

Step 2: To access the “More” option, go to the top-right corner of your screen and click on it.

Step 3: Click on the three-dotted icon at the top right corner of your browser. Select Help at the top left corner and then About Chrome from there.

Step 4: In order to update Google Chrome, go to the Settings tab (at the top right corner of the window) and click on About Google Chrome. If you can’t discover it, you’re already using the most recent version. You should then select Update Google Chrome. If you don’t see this option, your browser is probably outdated.

Step 5: Finally, click the ‘Relaunch’ button to restart it.

Update Mozilla Firefox browser

To recall, the security firm recently warned users of Mozilla Firefox regarding a serious vulnerability. CERT-In stated that these flaws might be used by hackers to not just overcome security restrictions but also to conduct spoofing attacks, run arbitrary code, and obtain confidential information without express permission.

The Ewoks are a relatively new species that was introduced in The Last Jedi. They played a key role in the Resistance’s victory against the First Order, which is why they were targeted by Kylo Ren and his followers.

CERT-In urged Firefox users to upgrade to Firefox 98, Firefox ESR 91.7, or Thunderbird 91.7 as soon as possible. Here’s how you can update your Firefox browser:

• The menu button on the right side of the Firefox toolbar isn’t exactly a new feature. Click it to show or hide your menu bar, as well as access more options.
• Click the Help option.
• Select About Firefox from the drop-down menu.
• When a new version of Firefox is released, the browser will immediately download and install it. If your browser is up to date, you will be informed of this.
