Google Chrome has released a new update to address a critical zero-day vulnerability, but even more apps could be at risk.
If you haven’t updated Chrome in the past few days, then it is highly recommended that you do. That’s because Google recently reported on a critical zero-day vulnerability within the browser that it has since fixed in Chrome version 117.0.5938.132. While Chrome has fixed the issue, though, it isn’t the only browser or software that could be plagued by this exploit.
According to Ars Technica, the latest zero-day exploit is not only attached to Chrome. Instead, it seems to affect libvpx, a library of packages that is widely used across multiple platforms, including Chrome, Firefox, Skype, Adobe, VLC, and Android – and the list of vendors that use it goes on.
