Security News > 2021 > March > Google Warns Mac, Windows Users of Chrome Zero-Day Flaw
Google is hurrying out a fix for a vulnerability in its Chrome browser that's under active attack - its third zero-day flaw so far this year.
Another high-severity flaw is a heap-buffer overflow error that stems from Chrome tab groups.
The use-after-free flaw is the third zero-day flaw to plague Google's Chrome browser in the past three months - and the second this month alone.
Earlier in March, Google said it fixed a high-severity zero-day vulnerability in its Chrome browser, which stems from the audio component of the browser.
In February, Google warned of a zero-day vulnerability in its V8 open-source web engine that's being actively exploited by attackers; a patch for which was issued in version 88 of Google's Chrome browser.
