Google on Thursday released software updates to address yet another zero-day flaw in its Chrome web browser.
Clement Lecigne of Google's Threat Analysis Group has been credited with reporting the flaw on November 22, 2022.
Heap-based buffer overflow bugs can be weaponized by threat actors to crash a program or execute arbitrary code, leading to unintended behavior.
"Google is aware that an exploit for CVE-2022-4135 exists in the wild," the tech giant acknowledged in an advisory.
Like other actively exploited issues, technical specifics have been withheld until a majority of the users are updated with a fix and to prevent further abuse.
With the latest update, Google has resolved eight zero-day vulnerabilities in Chrome since the start of the year -.
