In late October, the tech giant released version 95.0.4638.69 for its browser, Chrome, and fixed a total of eight security holes; including seven vulnerabilities classified as high severity. Among those eight vulnerabilities, two were zero-day: CVE-2021-38000 and CVE-2021-38003. Google claims that both flaws were used by criminals to break into systems. Zero-day vulnerabilities are critical gaps that have gone undetected in the software and systems development process. These types of flaws can be exploited by attackers to spread other cyber threats such as Trojans, rootkits, malware and worms. Want to catch up on the best tech news of the day? Access and subscribe to our new youtube channel, Kenyannews News. Everyday a summary of the main news from the tech world for you! In the case of the zero-day flaws, Google didn’t provide much detail about the vulnerabilities. What is known is that the CVE-2021-38000 is a bug high severity related to insufficient validation for untrusted entries through Intents (wizard vectors that help perform browser actions), while CVE-2021-38003 is an inadequate implementation in V8, the Chrome browser engine in JavaScript. The other seven vulnerabilities, although they are classified as high and medium risk, have not been detected being used by criminals. Check their codes below: * CVE-2021-37997 – High risk * CVE-2021-37998 – High risk * CVE-2021-37999 – High risk * CVE-2021-38001 – High risk * CVE-2021-38002 – High risk * CVE-2021-38004 – Medium risk To update Chrome, users must go to the menu by clicking the three dots in the upper right corner of the browser, select Help and, thirdly, choose the About Google Chrome option. Once this is done, the browser will look for available updates and install them. Finally, it’s a warning that, although the new version of the browser has already been released worldwide, it may take a while for all computers with the program installed to access it.
