Security News > 2022 > August > Google fixes fifth Chrome zero-day bug exploited this year
Google has released a security update for the Chrome browser that addresses close to a dozen vulnerabilities, including a zero-day flaw that is being exploited in the wild.
The security update is currently rolling out for Windows, Mac and Linux.
Google doesn't typically provide many technical details about the zero-day vulnerabilities they fix until a large number of Chrome users have applied the security update.
To perform the update now, head to the browser's settings, select "About Chrome" and let the browser's internal checker scan for available updates.
After the download is complete, restart the program to apply the security update.
Because the latest Google Chrome update fixes a flaw already exploited by threat actors, it is recommended switch to the latest version of the browser as soon as possible.
