Google is warning of a zero-day vulnerability in its V8 open-source web engine that’s being actively exploited by attackers.
A patch has been issued in version 88 of Google’s Chrome browser — specifically, version 88.0.4324.150 for Windows, Mac and Linux. This update will roll out over the coming days and weeks, said Google. The flaw (CVE-2021-21148) stems from a heap-buffer overflow, said Google.
“Google is aware of reports that an exploit for CVE-2021-21148 exists in the wild,” according to Google’s Thursday security update.
