Google has released a new Chrome update to address a high-severity zero-day vulnerability, CVE-2024-3159.

The CVE-2024-3159 vulnerability involves out-of-bounds memory access in the V8 JavaScript engine and was disclosed by Edouard Bochin and Tao Yan of Palo Alto Networks.

CVE-2024-3159 could allow remote attackers to access sensitive data or cause a system crash.

This fix is one of four zero-day vulnerabilities patched by Google in Chrome this year.

Google also remedied two other high-severity issues, CVE-2024-3156 and CVE-2024-3158, and previously addressed two vulnerabilities from Pwn2Own Vancouver 2024.

Users are urged to update their Chrome browsers to the latest version to safeguard against these threats; there have been no reports of active exploitation in the wild.
