Google Chrome 151 Patches Five High-Severity Use-After-Free Flaws in V8, Blink, and Extensions

Google released a Chrome browser update that fixes five serious security problems affecting core parts of the browser. People who use Chrome should update as soon as possible to reduce the chance of harmful websites or content taking advantage of these weaknesses.


Who is at risk

Anyone using Google Chrome on Windows, Mac, or Linux is at risk if their browser has not been updated to the latest version.

What to watch for

Watch for Chrome showing it needs a restart to finish updating, unusual browser crashes, or signs that your browser version is out of date.

What to do

Open Chrome, go to Settings > About Chrome, install any available update, and restart the browser immediately.
