The bug itself is a confusion weakness in the Chrome V8 JavaScript engine and while these types of vulnerabilities usually lead to browser crashes after reading or writing memory out of buffer bounds, cybercriminals can also exploit them to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable systems.
The vulnerability was discovered by Clément Lecigne from Google’s Threat Analysis Group who immediately reported it to the Google Chrome team. Although Google has observed this zero-day actively being exploited in the wild, the company has been tight lipped regarding any attacks. In its security advisory, it said that details about the bug and links will be “kept restricted until a majority of users are updated with a fixâ€.
Manually updating Chrome is your bet bet
Google Chrome 100.0.4896.127 for Windows, Mac and Linux will roll out in the next few weeks as an update.
However, due to the high-severity of this vulnerability, security-conscious users can update Chrome immediately by going into the Chrome menu, heading to Help and clicking on About Google Chrome. Here, they’ll be able to manually install the update themselves as opposed to waiting for Google to roll it out.

For those that would rather wait though, Chrome will automatically check for new updates and install them the next time you close and relaunch the browser.
This is the third zero-day vulnerability that has been discovered and patched in Chrome this year.

Amazon's early Black Friday laptop deals are some of the best we've seen
Read MoreAmazon Black Friday deals are now live, even though we've still got a few weeks to go until Black Friday itself – which is on November 26 – but judging by some of these brilliant deals, we're certainly not complaining.
Amazon has cut the prices of a range of excellent laptops, mainly from Asus, including a huge £300 off the Asus ZenBook 14, a stylish thin and light that's a great alternative to Apple's MacBook devices.
Several affordable VivoBook laptops have also had price cuts, as have some Asus ROG Strix gaming laptops as well.
There are some non-Asus laptops with price cuts as well, but they're not quite as impressive. However, we're sure to see more Black Friday laptop deals from Amazon and other retailers as the month continues.
We've picked the best laptop offers from Amazon's early Black Friday deals below.
