Google has released a new version of Chrome, addressing 27 security vulnerabilities, some of which are critical. The latest update, available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, has been rolled out to Chrome versions 150.0.7871.114/115 and 150.0.7871.114.
According to Google, none of the fixed vulnerabilities are currently being exploited in the wild. In addition to the new release, Google also published a blog post detailing the security vulnerabilities that have been addressed. The post lists the 27 vulnerabilities, which were discovered by Google's own security team and external researchers.
The Chrome developers have awarded a total of $3,000 in bounties to the external researchers who identified some of the vulnerabilities. Two of the fixed vulnerabilities are classified as critical, while 23 are considered high risk and two are medium risk. Use-after-free (UAF) vulnerabilities are once again the most prevalent, with 13 of the fixed issues falling into this category.
Last week, Google released a major version of Chrome, addressing over 400 security vulnerabilities, including many classified as critical. Chrome typically updates automatically when a new version is available, but users can manually check for updates via the menu option Help → About Google Chrome.
Google has also released Chrome for Android 150.0.7871.114 and Chrome for iOS 150.0.7871.113, which address the same vulnerabilities as the desktop versions. The Extended Stable Channel for Windows and macOS now includes Chromium version 150.0.7871.115.
The next major version of Chrome, Chrome 151, is scheduled for release at the end of July.
