Security News > 2021 > December > Google pushes emergency Chrome update to fix zero-day used in attacks
Google has released Chrome 96.0.4664.110 for Windows, Mac, and Linux, to address a high-severity zero-day vulnerability exploited in the wild.
Although the company says this update may take some time to reach all users, the update has already begun rolling out Chrome 96.0.4664.110 worldwide in the Stable Desktop channel.
The update was available immediately when BleepingComputer checked for new updates from Chrome menu > Help > About Google Chrome.
The browser will also auto-check for recent updates and update itself automatically after the next launch.
With this update, Google has addressed 16 Chrome zero-day vulnerabilities since the start of the year.
Because this zero-day is known to have been used by attackers in the wild, installing today's Google Chrome update is strongly recommended as soon as it's available.
