Chrome 151 Patches 41 High- and Critical-Severity Browser Flaws

Google released Chrome 151 to fix 41 newly identified vulnerabilities affecting the browser on Windows, macOS, and Linux, including six critical flaws and 35 high-severity issues. The patched bugs include five use-after-free vulnerabilities in WebGL, Aura, Skia, and Views, as well as an out-of-bounds write in the ANGLE graphics engine. Google said the update is rolling out as versions 151.0.7922.108/.109 for Windows and macOS and 151.0.7922.108 for Linux.

The vulnerabilities could lead to arbitrary code execution, information disclosure, privilege escalation, security restriction bypass, denial of service, crashes, and data corruption, with more than two dozen tied to memory-safety weaknesses. Google did not report active exploitation in the wild, but users and organizations were urged to update systems running versions prior to the patched releases as soon as possible.
