Google has issued an update for its Chrome browser that patches the second "high severity" zero-day vulnerability this year. All 3.2 billion Chrome users are urged to update to Chrome 99.0.4844.84 for Windows, Mac, or Linux immediately.
The patch fixes a remote code execution vulnerability — currently tracked as CVE-2022-1096 — that is already being exploited in the wild. It is caused by a confusion weakness in the Chrome V8 JavaScript engine.
