Google has released Chrome 105.0.5195.102 for Windows, Mac, and Linux users to address a single high-severity security flaw, the sixth Chrome zero-day exploited in attacks patched this year.

This new version is rolling out in the Stable Desktop channel, with Google saying that it will reach the entire user base within a matter of days or weeks.

It was available immediately when BleepingComputer checked for new updates by going into the Chrome menu > Help > About Google Chrome.

By delaying the release of more information on these attacks, Google is likely aiming to provide Chrome users with enough time to update and prevent exploitation attempts until more threat actors create their own exploits to deploy in attacks.

With this release, Google has issued security updates to address the sixth Chrome zero-day patch since the start of the year.

As the Google Threat Analysis Group revealed in February, CVE-2022-0609 was exploited by North Korean-backed state hackers weeks before the February patch.
