New bug in Google Chrome could pose serious security threats: CERT-In]

Google Chrome, the most popular web browser currently for computers, has a new bug that could risk many users.

In a warning issued last week, the Centre's Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) said there are several issues with Google Chrome that could let someone attack your computer. “Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Google Chrome, which could be exploited by a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code or cause a Denial of Service (DoS) condition on the targeted system," said CERT-In in a bulletin.

The vulnerabilities exist in Google Chrome due to “Use-after-free error within the FedCM component, Out of bounds memory access and inappropriate implementation in V8. A remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by sending a specially crafted web page on the targeted system," the bulletin added.

Google reportedly knows about this problem and is fixing it. The US-based tech giant is making a new version of Google Chrome that will solve these issues.
