Tom’s Guide reports:
Google has issued an emergency security update patch for Chrome in order to fix three security issues including one zero-day bug that has been actively exploited in the wild by hackers. This makes it the third active vulnerability to be patched via emergency update since the start of the year, with two others occurring in March and May.
If you don’t understand or care to understand the technical details of the exploit but just want to protect yourself, you may already be protected if you have Chrome set for automatic updates. But if you want to be sure, go to the Chrome menu –> Help –> About Google Chrome, and it will show you if you have the most recent update.
If it needs to update, let the update finish and then re-start/re-launch Chrome.
As Tom’s Guide reports and advises:
The update versions are 137.0.7151.68/ .69 for Windows and macOS and version 137.0.7151.68 for Linux. Users of other Chromium-based browsers (Edge, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi) should apply the updates as they become available.
