Chrome update fixes security issues

Google just rolled out a new safety update for its Chrome browser. The updated version is numbered 134.0.6998.88/.89 for Windows and macOS users, while Linux users get version 134.0.6998.88. This update will reach everyone slowly over the next few days and weeks.

The update patches up five weak spots in the browser’s security. Three of these are considered pretty serious. Two big problems were found in the V8 JavaScript engine, caused by something called type confusion, which could mess things up badly. Another issue was spotted in the GPU part of Chrome, where it could write data in the wrong places. This might crash your system or even let harmful code sneak in.

For now, Google isn’t sharing too many details about these flaws. They want to wait until most people have the update installed. This way, hackers can’t take advantage of the gaps on systems still waiting for the fix. Interestingly, these weak spots come from third-party tools that other programs use too. But Google is keeping the info quiet until more users are safe.

This update shows how Google is working to keep Chrome users protected. If you haven’t gotten it yet, don’t worry—it’s on the way. Keeping your browser updated is a simple step to stay secure online.
