The heap-buffer overflow error exists in V8, an open-source WebAssembly and JavaScript engine developed by the Chromium Project for Google Chrome and Chromium web browsers.
Researchers urge Google Chrome users to update as soon as possible.
Google Chrome users can go to chrome://settings/help by clicking Settings > About Chrome.
The flaw is only the latest security issue in Google Chrome in recent months.
In January, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency urged Windows, macOS and Linux users of Google's Chrome browser to patch an out-of-bounds write bug impacting the current 87.0.4280.141 version of the software.
In December, Google updated Chrome to fix four bugs with a severity rating of "High" and eight overall.
