Google Chrome’s Latest Update Will Fix Security Issues
In a September 2nd blog post company said that “Google is aware of reports that an exploit for CVE-2022-3075 exists in the wild”. An anonymous tipster reported the problem on August 30th, and Google says it expects the update to roll out to all users in the coming days or weeks.

The company has not yet released much information about the nature of the bug. What we know so far is that it has to do with “insufficient data validation” in Mojo, a collection of runtime libraries used by Chromium, the codebase that Google Chrome built.
The company said, “Access to bug details and links may be restricted until the majority of users are updated to the latest version”. Keeping those details under wraps for now, Google is making it harder for hackers to figure out how to exploit the vulnerability before the new update closes the opportunity for attacks.

How to update Chrome to the latest version?
You need to just relaunch the Chrome browser to activate the update. This will update Chrome to version 105.0.5195.102 for Windows, Mac, and Linux.
How to confirm my Chrome browser is on the latest version?
Click on the three dots icon on the top right corner of your browser > “Help” > “About Google Chrome”. You will see “Chrome is up to date” with a blue tick.
