While Google states that this Chrome update will roll out in the next few weeks, users can receive it immediately by going into the Chrome menu > Help > About Google Chrome.

The browser will also automatically check for new updates and install them the next time you close and relaunch Google Chrome.

While Google said they have detected attacks exploiting this zero-day, it did not provide further details regarding how these attacks are conducted.

As this zero-day is known to be used in attacks, it is strongly advised to update Google Chrome as soon as possible.
