Security News > 2020 > April > Google Squashes High-Severity Flaws in Chrome Browser
On Thursday, Google released security patches to stomp out high-severity vulnerabilities in its Chrome browser.
Overall, eight security bugs were addressed in Chrome browser version 80.0.3987.162 for Windows, Mac, and Linux.
As is typical for Chrome updates, Google is initially scant in details of the bugs "Until a majority of users are updated with a fix." It did outline three of the vulnerabilities that were discovered by external researchers, however.
The CIS alert recommended that Chrome users "Apply the stable channel update provided by Google to vulnerable systems immediately after appropriate testing."
Google in February 2020 said it patched a Chrome web browser zero-day bug being actively exploited in the wild.
