Google Chrome 134.0.6998.88/.89 for Windows und macOS available
The new update closes five security vulnerabilities.
With the new update, Google has closed five security vulnerabilities in its Chrome browser. Three of these are classified as high-risk. These vulnerabilities could allow attackers to execute malicious code on affected computers.
Two of the vulnerabilities affect the V8 JavaScript engine, allowing attackers to exploit potential memory corruption via a crafted HTML page. Another vulnerability allows attackers on macOS systems to write outside of the allocated GPU memory range and thus execute arbitrary code.
It is recommended that users install the update immediately. The new version is available for Windows and macOS as 134.0.6998.88/.89 and for Linux as 134.0.6998.88. Updates for Android, iOS, and Chromium-based browsers are expected to follow in the coming days.
The Google releases blog offers more details on the new version.
Chrome usually updates itself automatically when a new version is available. You can manually start the update check using the menu entry » Help » About Google Chrome.
