– From Google
Regarding the nature of the flaw, the corporation hasn’t yet made much information public. As of yet, what is known is that issue has to do with “Insufficient data validation” in Mojo, a group of runtime libraries used by Chromium, the codebase on which Google Chrome is based.
The company warned that “access to problem data and links may be maintained limited until a majority of users are updated with a remedy.” Google makes it more difficult for hackers to discover how to exploit the vulnerability before the next update eliminates the window for assaults by withholding those data for the time being.
To activate the update, Chrome browser users must restart the browser. For Windows, Mac, and Linux, this will update Chrome to version 105.0.5195.102. Click the three dots in your browser’s top right corner to ensure you’re using the most recent version. You can find out whether Chrome is up to date on your device by going to “Help” and then “About Google Chrome”.
