The flaw was patched as an actively exploited zero-day bug in the Google Chrome web browser on Friday for Windows, Mac, and Linux users. In a security advisory published right before the weekend, Google said it "Is aware of reports that an exploit for CVE-2022-4262 exists in the wild."
Search giant Google on Friday released an out-of-band security update to fix a new actively exploited zero-day flaw in its Chrome web browser. The high-severity flaw, tracked as CVE-2022-4262, concerns a type confusion bug in the V8 JavaScript engine.
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.
A set of five exploitable vulnerabilities in Arm's Mali GPU driver remain unfixed months after the chip maker patched them, leaving potentially millions of Android devices exposed to attacks. The vulnerability impacts Arm Mali GPU kernel drivers Valhall r29p0 to r38p0.
No sooner had we stopped to catch our breath after reviewing the latest 62 patches dropped by Microsoft on Patch Tuesday. Neither bug is reported with Apple's typical zero-day wording along the lines that the company "Is aware of a report that this issue may have been actively exploited", so there's no suggestion that these bugs are zero-days, at least inside Apple's ecosystem.
Unlike ProxyShell, the new bugs weren't directly exploitable by anyone with an internet connection and a misguided sense of cybersecurity adventure. We therefore assumed, probably in common with most Naked Security readers, that the patches would arrive calmly and unhurriedly as part of the October 2022 Patch Tuesday, still more than two weeks away.
Today is Microsoft's November 2022 Patch Tuesday, and with it comes fixes for six actively exploited Windows vulnerabilities and a total of 68 flaws. This month's Patch Tuesday fixes six actively exploited zero-day vulnerabilities, with one being publicly disclosed.

You can up software supply chain security by implementing these measuresThe COVID-19 pandemic has been a driving force in digital acceleration, and it continues to wield its influence in how organizations and their staff embrace work. Most missed area of zero trust: Unmanageable applicationsIn this Help Net Security video, Matthew Chiodi, Chief Trust Officer of Cerby, talks about the likely hole in your security strategy.
Microsoft turned around and released a series of non-security updates that fixed some discovered connections issues - forcing many to conduct another unplanned patch cycle. The initial concern was that CVE-2022-3602 could lead to another Heartbleed situation which did result in widespread exploitation in 2014 of CVE-2014-0160 in OpenSSL. The good news is these recent CVEs are much harder to exploit, but you should update to the latest version of OpenSSL in your environment during your next patch cycle to protect yourself from the sure-to-come attacks.
