Google released an urgent security update for Chrome browser. The update fixes a critical vulnerability that is already being exploited by hackers. The vulnerability, known as CVE-2024-4671, is a bug in the browser’s Visuals component.
CVE-2024-4671 is a type of vulnerability referred to as “use after free” in the Visuals component of the Chrome browser. This vulnerability occurs when dynamic memory is not properly handled during program operation.

This can result in unauthorized access or manipulation of data, or even control over the affected system.
