Chrome and Firefox Updates Patch Dozens of Vulnerabilities
Google and Mozilla have released updates for Chrome and Firefox, addressing dozens of security vulnerabilities, including critical and high-severity flaws. These patches aim to mitigate risks associated with memory corruption, unauthorized access, and potential exploitation of vulnerabilities within various browser components. The updates are rolling out now to protect users from actively exploited weaknesses.
Google and Mozilla announced the release of security updates for Chrome and Firefox on Tuesday, addressing a significant number of vulnerabilities. The updates are designed to protect users from actively exploited weaknesses and to prevent future attacks.
Chrome 152 and Firefox 155 include fixes for a wide range of issues, with 26 bugs and 29 defects respectively. Many of these vulnerabilities are classified as critical or high severity, including use-after-free issues, sandbox escapes, and memory corruption problems. Specifically, Chrome 152 includes fixes for two critical-severity use-after-free issues within Shared Tab Groups and WebGL. Mozilla’s updates cover components such as GC, Navigation, Audio/Video, Security, WebGPU, Core & HTML, and Grid.
Google noted that only three of the vulnerabilities were reported by external researchers, and no bug bounty reward has been disclosed for these fixes. Mozilla indicated that some of the vulnerabilities could be exploited with sufficient effort.
Google and Mozilla have not indicated whether any of these vulnerabilities are currently being exploited in the wild.
