Google has released a new Chrome update for Windows, macOS, and Linux that fixes a total of 11 security issues. Of these vulnerabilities, the update patches a highly-severe zero-day bug that has already been exploited by attackers. It is known as a ‘use-after-free’ vulnerability that exists in Chrome’s Animation component. An attacker can exploit the bug to corrupt data or even execute a code on the system, without letting its users know. This is notably the first zero-day bug impacting the Chrome browser that has been patched by Google.

Through a brief blog post, Google announced the release of Chrome version 98.0.4758.102 for Windows, macOS, and Linux that will roll out to users around the globe over the coming days.

Among other fixes available in the latest release, the zero-day bug has been identified as CVE-2022-0609. It was reported by Google’s Threat Analysis Group on February 10, according to the blog post.
