Security News > 2022 > April > Google issues third emergency fix for Chrome this year

Google is issuing fixes for two vulnerabilities in its Chrome web browser, including one flaw that is already being exploited in the wild.

The emergency updates the company issued this week impact the almost 3 billion users of its Chrome browser as well as those using other Chromium-based browsers, such as Microsoft Edge, Brave and Vivaldi.

It is the third such emergency update Google has had to issue for Chrome this year.

Google officials did not release many details about the flaw, saying that information and links about the bug are being restricted until a majority of users are updated with the fix, which will bring Chrome to version 100.0.4896.127 across the Windows, Linux and Mac platforms.

The Chrome updates will be applied in the coming days and weeks, with Chrome automatically installing them when the browser is closed and relaunched.

Google should be getting used to issuing such emergency fixes.
