Google has updated its Chrome web browser, fixing four bugs with a severity rating of "High" and eight overall.
An updated 87.0.4280.88 version of Chrome addresses the bugs and will "Roll out over the coming days/weeks," Google wrote.
Details tied to each of the bugs are being withheld at this time, Google said, "Until a majority of users are updated with a fix." It also noted that when and if bugs exist in third-party code libraries used in other devices or platforms, technical details of the bugs will be limited.
Three high-severity bugs each include use-after-free elements impacting memory, tied to Chrome's clipboard, media and extensions components.
Cybersecurity researchers have described these types of uninitialized-use bugs as "Largely overlooked" and often "Regarded as insignificant memory errors."
