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.
