The vulnerability was discovered by Clément Lecigne of Google’s Threat Analysis Group (TAG). It is a type confusion bug, which means that the attacker can cause the browser to treat data of one type as if it were another type. This can be used to exploit heap corruption, which can allow the attacker to take control of the browser.
Google has not disclosed any details about the attacks that are exploiting this vulnerability. However, the fact that Google is aware that an exploit exists in the wild means that it is important to update Chrome as soon as possible.
By updating Chrome, users can help to protect themselves from this vulnerability and from other potential attacks. It is important to keep all software up to date to help protect against security vulnerabilities.
